"Yang Sui has repeatedly alienated our Turks, so why should we help them regain their country? This time our army, with Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou and others as the vanguard, is not only continuing the divisive method of supporting the Han people to fight against the Han people, but also taking advantage of China's national strength. Before they could recover, they captured Ningxia, Taiyuan and other places in one fell swoop."
Soon, a big man with a long shawl, a steel hoop with gems embedded in the center of his forehead ring, and a pale face rode to the front of the Wolf Temple, followed by two groups of people. It was Shibi Khan who was seriously injured. The sound opened his mouth and replied.
I saw that Shibi's clothing was extremely elegant, which was completely different from the rough and primitive warrior attire of the Turks, which was mainly made of animal leather and fur. He wore a brocade warrior uniform underneath, a silk robe with embroidered dragon patterns on the outside, and long purple boots. .
This is a symbolic method, in which the Turkic Khan is transformed into the emperor of the Middle Kingdom. It has the purpose of offering sacrifices, indicating that he can become the conqueror of the Middle Kingdom. It shows that the Turks are not just seeking the past when they invade the south. They wanted to plunder a lot, but intended to really establish a stronghold in the pass.
A group of knights four or five horses behind the beginning, with more than twenty people, are a group of fierce generals and chiefs with extremely high status in the East Turks. The most conspicuous one is of course the unquestionable number one master of the Turks, "Martial Arts". "Respect" Bi Xuan.
Bi Xuan looks like he is only about thirty years old, with a perfect physique, his bronze skin is shining with dazzling luster, and his legs are extremely long, which makes his majestic body have the potential to reach into the starry sky. The wild hemp robe on his body flutters in the wind. , has its own demeanor that is independent of all living beings and surpasses the masters of the past.
For decades, Bi Xuan never participated in the wars of the Turkic tribe, but his younger brother Tun Yugu was often active in the tribe. He was a man of great martial arts and excellent strategy. He won the respect and trust of the Great Khan, and his status was second only to Bi Xuan. Xuan himself.
The person who just proposed the plan to establish the orphan of the Sui royal family as the puppet emperor was one of the subordinates that Tun Yugu recruited from unknown sources in recent days. This speech, since Bi Xuan was present today and did not refute, can theoretically be regarded as Represents the opinions of Bi Xuan, Dun Yugu and others.
Seeing that the Great Khan did not agree with his remarks, Dunyugu, who looked only in his thirties but was actually in his seventies or eighties, just smiled and explained simply:
"Once our Turkic army enters the country, under the banner of supporting the restoration of Yang Sui's descendants, the situation of chaos and division in China will continue. People will recall the Sui Dynasty when Yang Jian was in power, and have expectations and illusions in their hearts, thus reducing it to The resistance encountered during the time.”
Of course Shibi Khan did not understand what the other party meant, but when he arrived at Yanmen Pass and trapped Yang Guang, he was completely an enemy of the Sui Dynasty. Obviously, he was not suitable to use such a banner, otherwise there would be no credibility at all. The effect is probably close to nothing.
Dun Yugu went against him in front of the Wolf God, which was a taboo he had done since he was mentally traumatized. This made Shibi Khan feel a bit ominous, and he couldn't help but look back at Bi, whom he usually respected. Xuan glanced at him, thinking about the relationship between the other party and Dun Yugu, and his heart was full of doubts.
In fact, the reason why Shibi had to risk his injuries and lead the army south was precisely because he wanted to show off his power even more when he was weak, indicating that his power was still strong, in order to suppress the idea of several brothers seizing the throne, and In the battle against Middle-earth, try to consume the power of Chu Luo, Jie Li and others as much as possible.
But now it seems that Shibi's plan to pave the way for his son Tuli's inheritance before his death did not work as he thought.
"I wonder what Wu Zun thinks about this?" After a moment of silence, Bi Xuan turned around with his long knife in his hand and spoke to break the silence. However, he noticed that Bi Xuan did not focus on himself, the sweater, and if Staring thoughtfully at the old man who spoke under Dun Yugu.
Almost no one could have imagined that this ordinary-looking old man turned out to be the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan in disguise. His martial arts and disguise skills had greatly improved, and he was able to hide it from one of the three great masters of the past. The "Martial Lord" Bi Xuan.
When Shi Zhixuan decisively evacuated Daxing City, he snatched away Yang Guang's youngest son, King Zhao Yang Gao, and used him as another exploitable chess piece besides Yang Xuyan, who might have betrayed him. He secretly came to the territory of the Eastern Turks, disguised himself and became loyal to the Sui Dynasty. Princess Yicheng conducts transactions.
Although the previous plans were basically in vain because of Zhao Qing, Shi Zhixuan knew that what he was best at was winning in chaos, so he prepared to join forces with Princess Yicheng, "Magic Commander" Zhao Deyan and others to guide the Eastern Turks towards the Central Plains. Launch an invasion and profit from the chaos.
After carefully observing the old man, Bi Xuan couldn't find any flaws for the time being, but he was keenly aware that a big change might happen tonight, and that the conspiracy had already included him in it, making it difficult for him to kill his relatives in a just and righteous way. Dong Yugu, who was involved, took action.
Without revealing any of the complex and changeable emotions in his heart, he suddenly walked in the direction of the beginning and end. His pace seemed slow but was actually fast, and he was filled with a strange and inexplicable feeling.
All the soldiers near and far stood in silence and respect. To them, Bi Xuan was not only the supreme spiritual leader, but also a martial arts master who was worshiped like a god. He had been famous on the prairie for more than sixty years, and his reputation was still growing. Beginning above Khan.
The howling night wind and the sound of burning torches dotted the ominous night on Langshan Mountain. Then, Bi Xuan stood leisurely two feet in front of Shi Bi, made a voice that was so calm that it almost contained no emotion, and said lightly:
"More than twenty years ago, I fought to a draw with Ning Daoqi, and I know that the other party is not inferior to me in terms of martial arts or wisdom. Now he is no longer a 'Sanren', but has joined the sect of Anguo Zhao Qing, which is enough It shows how terrifying the enemy in the south is."
"The saying 'Once you reach immortality, the heavenly palace will reflect you', even though it is somewhat untrue, it can convince so many people that it spreads thousands of miles away and must be given enough attention. At that time, you also witnessed the red cloud phenomenon over Guanzhong. Witnessed.”
"Under the control of such a person, Middle-earth will soon turn from decline to prosperity, and will eventually fight with our grassland. If we can't take advantage of the opponent's weakest moment to truly work together, the price we need to pay will be , is likely to be far more painful than the struggles within some clans."
The prairie stretches from the Xing'an Mountains in the east, to the Altai Mountains in the west, to the Yinshan Mountains in the south, and to Lake Baikal, the Yenisey River, and the upper reaches of the Yeer Stone River in the north. The impact of man-made disasters is highly mobile, scattered and unstable, with large land and sparse people.
No matter how powerful the government is, it is still unable to manage such a vast land. Therefore, conflicts caused by interests have never stopped. Division is the norm, and unification is unreasonable.
In fact, there are currently a number of minor khans under the supreme leader of the Turks, the Great Khan, each with its own territory. They are independent in terms of governance and force. As the saying goes, "Although migration is irregular, each has its own territory." , if it can enter the stage of centralized power, its strength will undoubtedly increase significantly.
Furthermore, if there is a nation outside the Great Wall that unifies the prairie and unites all races, without any worries, in the minds of everyone on the scene, unless they encounter an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, they will sweep through the Central Plains with overwhelming force.
The meaning of Bi Xuan's words was to warn Shi Bi, Dun Yugu and others not to fight for power at the Wolf Temple at the critical moment of the expedition. At the same time, he also hoped that everyone would temporarily put aside their suspicion and achieve sufficient results after achieving sufficient results. Before carrying out various liquidations, at least the internal unity of the Eastern Turks must be temporarily maintained.
However, the soon-to-be-deathed Shi Bi had no real intention of using troops against China. On the contrary, he focused more on weakening the power of the two brothers. Unable to listen to Bi Xuan's words, he immediately quietly waved a gesture to a group of knights beside him. She retorted:
"The Central Plains Dynasty has always been based on farming. Although there are hundreds of times more people than we do, mobilizing the army is not easy. It often only causes civil uprisings, and the defense lines are long, making it difficult to concentrate on defense."
"If we go on an expedition to counterattack, as long as the food route is cut off, we will become a lone army that is short of food. How can we withstand the surprise attack of elite cavalry like us from the desert? However, the change of weather and the scorching heat of the desert are doomed to defeat."
"Therefore, there is no need for Wu Zun to pay too much attention to the new dynasty that unified China. Just looking at its intention to take the initiative to attack our Turks, we can know that Zhao Qing may have a profound knowledge of martial arts, but he is not familiar with military content."
However, when Shibi Khan deliberately said that the strength of the Central Plains was weak and hinted to the guards on the edge to be ready, a cough suddenly sounded deep in the dense forest. He suddenly stopped the sound with his hands on his forehead, and his face turned purple. He fell to the ground, seemingly poisoned.
In an instant, he understood that the enemy had actually killed him first. He looked out of breath, raised his arm tremblingly, and pointed at the shocked Chuluo Khan beside him. Suddenly, a group of highly skilled cavalry appeared. They swarmed up and shot Chu Luo on the spot as he did not react.
Before he could save the two of them from the sudden change, Bi Xuan swayed decisively and stopped in front of Jie Li, the most powerful among the remaining khans. Although he was highly suspected to be the real mastermind behind the scenes, at this moment He had to use all his strength to protect the only opponent with the prestige to succeed the Great Khan.
As for the son of Shibi Khan, Tuli Khan, he was barely a suitable successor. However, if he were chosen, there would be a high probability of triggering civil strife in the Turks due to revenge and liquidation, so he was excluded by Bi Xuan, who was eager to stabilize the situation. Outside.
Under the shock of Yanyang's aura, Shi Bi's trusted cavalry could not help but give up the order to take action, allowing Bi Xuan to maintain an attitude of staying aloof and watching with cold eyes, slowly looking towards Jieli Khan, aiming to make the opponent Express his views on the future direction of Turks.
As if he was already prepared, Jie Li glanced at his two dead brothers underground with a sad yet determined look, sighed and said, "The saint's attitude towards An Guo and Zhao Qing is exactly what Jie Li wants. "
"According to the recent intelligence obtained, the weapons and equipment of our Turkic people once caught up with the skills of the Central Plains Dynasty. However, judging from the development trend of Anguo, it is likely to be left behind again in a short period of time and fall to the Warring States Period. The grassland was swept away at will by Li Mu."
"Only by gathering millions of string-controlling people in the clan, and uniting with the Khitan, Shiwei, and Uighur kingdoms to attack the middle-land, can we get rid of this serious trouble. If we are careless, we may end up in a situation that will never be recovered."
"While our army is crossing the river and moving south, we can also reveal the news to the Western Turks, Tuyuhun and other countries. As long as we show the momentum to gain a stronghold in the Central Plains, in order to prevent our strength from growing alone, Shekui will have no choice but to Go to Central Plains to get a share of the pie, and then launch an invasion from Kansai..."
After listening to Jie Li's speech, which was guided by Shi Zhixuan, Zhao Deyan, Tun Yugu and others, Bi Xuan deeply agreed. He knew that the Turks were actually facing a huge crisis of national subjugation and annihilation this time. It was really a waste of time for a mere Shibi to die together with Chu Luo due to internal strife. Nothing.
On the contrary, at the expense of Shibi's personal sacrifice, in exchange for the "righteousness" of restoring Yang Sui when he invaded the Central Plains, and to deter the chieftains who were opposed to the all-out military buildup, and to maintain a unified force in this battle, that would be the way to calm down. Things that post-tribal leaders should do.
So, under the blazing torch light, the recognized Jieli raised his hands and reported to the "Wolf Stone" above, asking the great god of the Turks for victory. His voice was as majestic as the knocking of gold and stone, containing real energy and surging forward. The cliffs evoke echoes, with the intimidating momentum of the mountains ringing on the cliffs, shaking the mountains, forests and river banks, drowning out the sound of the wind and trees.
Shi Zhixuan, who was pretending to be an old man on the side, was slightly moved after the plan was successfully implemented. He felt that the invasion, which almost used all the power of the grassland, should create a chaos that could last for a long time, and he could take advantage of it. Swallow the forces of Demon Xiang Sect and Mie Qing Dao here.
During this period, the schizophrenia split into three personalities, and I had to find ways to return to my normal self. I should also stay dormant for a while, observe the changes in the situation in the Central Plains, and only test it out at critical moments.
The "Immortal Seal" has been sublimated into a new "Immortal Demon Seed", and his cultivation has greatly improved. His lifespan should be longer than that of Zhao Qing who emerged after being in seclusion for who knows how many years, right? The other party can cooperate with Xiang Yutian as soon as he appears. It is likely that he is a figure from a similar era.
It took him twenty years to overwhelm the Sui Dynasty, but even if the Turks were defeated in this battle, at worst, he would have spent hundreds of years hiding in hiding, and she would have been overthrown in the same way.
Just as Shi Zhixuan was thinking secretly in his heart, he was rejected by Bi Xuan, Jie Li and others who were secretly holding the throne ceremony. When he came to the dense forest and was ordered to search for the source of the cough just now, tens of feet above Langshan, the demon Cang Gu became transparent. The soul was staring closely at his figure.
In the sight of the Demon Sect Saint Ancestor, usurping power, trusting the wolf god, crossing the river with a hundred thousand golden wolf army, etc., were not trivial matters. It was Shi Zhixuan, a special individual with schizophrenia, that really attracted his attention. That's why he's here.
In his opinion, there were two different souls living in Shi Zhixuan's body, and they worked surprisingly well together. Although it still inevitably resulted in his complex and contradictory personality, it also made him live a better life than before. Others are more colorful, introspective, and have particularly intense mood swings.
But now, these two soul gods have been squeezed elsewhere by the third newly emerged soul god, and then they were forced to merge and grow stronger with each other, suppressing the latter in turn. However, they initially showed an advantage and started again. It is strange that the divisions and recurrences occurred so often, and it developed his spiritual thoughts to an unparalleled depth and breadth.
After carefully observing this excellent experiment until sunrise and sunset, the day had passed. The main Turkic army used the built rafts to transport people, horses and supplies to the Houtao Plain on the other side. A small number of people stayed on the west bank. At the place where the altar is located under the fierce wolf stone, a stronghold was built.
Although a coup had just occurred and it would take a period of transition to restore stability, the Houtao Plain is now completely and absolutely under the control of the Turkic army, allowing them to gain a foothold south of the river. They can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. Strategically impeccable.
In the reflection of the setting sun, the river is neither as clear and graceful as its source, nor as turbid and majestic as the downstream area. Instead, it looks like white waves, rushing along with the momentum, as if it is vast and indomitable.
The Turkic wolf army is bound to attack, and the departure of the forward troops is likely to take place within a day or two. This is the consistent style of the Turkic people who travel day and night.
…
Due to the limited time for travel, Cang Chu's soul left the Langshan area silently and headed southeast. He returned to his physical body half an hour later, and it turned out to be in Daxing City, even close to Xiji Garden. A small courtyard.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard, and a young man outside said hello: "Uncle Qu, as the deputy director of this spiritual mecha manufacturing project, you are on sick leave for the past two days. Our work efficiency has dropped by several percent.”
"For this reason, Master Lu sent me to specially deliver elixirs and tonics that can cure all diseases. I hope you will recover soon and regain your energy to participate in work again!"
Without responding aloud to the young man outside the yard, the demon Cang Xu moved his mind slightly and untied the acupuncture points of the drowsy old man lying on the bed. Then he took out a simple atlas from the sleeves of his robe and put it on the bed. On the table next to it.
Under the light of the setting sun at the window, one can clearly see that there are several large characters written on the outside of the album, "Oracle Bone Inscriptions Picture Interpretation", which can be used to decipher the large amount of text in front of the seven pictures of the Secret of Immortality. It is also what he is doing here. The price paid after taking someone else's identity for a period of time.
The method of "Longevity Secret" is closely related to "light" and vitality. It refines the three lights of the sun, moon and stars into the vitality of yin, yang and the five elements, thus achieving the effect of maintaining health and extending life.
But the most mysterious part of this skill is the further extension from "light" to the realm of "time". To achieve the effect of "immortality" by delaying the time of consciousness, it needs to be combined with the inner It is only now possible to comprehend the Oracle Chapters.
A person like Tianmo Cangzhu, who has lived from the Western Han Dynasty to today, has a long lifespan. Although he spends most of his time in a dormant state of unconsciousness, he also relies on the magical effect of the "Eternal Life Secret" to a large extent. Otherwise, he has never been shattered and ascended. In this case, he died at the end of his life.
Sneaking into the research institute, he learned about the amazing potential that Zhao Qing had discovered from the "Dao Xin Demon Planting Technique". He was also quite surprised to find that the things developed there were more profound than himself, a creator, and he couldn't even look at it. It takes a long time to understand.
Therefore, Cang Quan left a special note on the "Secret of Immortality", hoping to see the further development of this skill, and then quietly left the small courtyard, preparing to take on a new identity.
