Since Sui Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, because he inherited the Manchu economy from his father, he felt that he was bound to surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
A series of marvelous projects began. First, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was built. It lasted ten months and two million civilians were recruited.
Later, a huge amount of money was spent to expand the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and opened the Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, Hangou, and Jiangnan River sections, connecting the three major water systems of the Yellow River, Huaihe River Basin, and the Yangtze River, strengthening north-south exchanges, but also expropriating He killed more than one million soldiers and civilians in Henan and Huaibei.
After doing all this, Yang Guang felt that it was not enough, so in the seventh year of Daye, he successively recruited more than one million soldiers and more than two million civilians, and launched the first expedition to Goguryeo. Then he encountered heavy rains, blocked roads, and lost soldiers. With more than 300,000 yuan, the civilians also suffered heavy losses. A peasant uprising began in the country.
In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guangyou once again conquered Goguryeo, sending at least more than 600,000 troops. However, due to the rebellion of Yang Xuangan in the country, the great master Cailin on the front line assassinated important figures in the army day and night and retreated.
In the tenth year of the Great Cause (AD 614), Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo for the third time. This time he sent nearly one million troops. Despite Fu Cailin's assassination and domestic complaints, he finally defeated Goguryeo, but did not get any substantial benefits.
The three conquests of Goguryeo and the consumption of people's power in the previous continuous construction of wonders caused serious damage to the productivity of the Sui Dynasty, and peasant rebel armies followed one after another.
In the eleventh year of Daye, Yang Guang inspected the northern fortress and was suddenly besieged at Yanmen Pass by the Turkic Shibi Khan with hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
Li Shimin joined the troops of Zuotunwei general Yun Dingxing and went to Yanmen Pass to rescue Yang Guang.
At the same time, reinforcements from all walks of life also arrived at Yanmen Pass, but the Turkic troops could not conquer it after several attacks. The great master of the grassland, Wu Zun Bixuan, was unable to break through Yang Guang's guards, so the battle entered a stage of stalemate between the two sides.
Just when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was worried about retreating the Turkic troops, the appearance of a Taoist priest at Yanmen Pass changed the situation of the war.
On this day, Yang Guang was listening to Li Shimin's military report as usual. Suddenly someone came to report that a Taoist priest had come outside and offered to His Majesty a strategy to retreat from the enemy.
Yang Guang immediately ordered someone to arrange an interview. When he saw the visitor, his eyes lit up.
Just because the person who came was about twenty-five years old, fresh and handsome, with the appearance of a phoenix and a dragon. Although he was young, he had an air of immortality and an extraordinary appearance.
Seeing that the visitor was extraordinary, Yang Guang asked, "I wonder where you are growing up and doing deep cultivation in the Immortal Mountain? Do you have any clever ideas to repel the enemy troops?"
The young Taoist bowed his head to Yang Guang and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I have received orders from the Heavenly Master from the east. I am here today to relieve the siege of Yanmen Pass."
"But what about the Southern Celestial Master Tao that once produced Celestial Master Sun En?" It was Li Shimin who asked. Because of his profound family knowledge, he knew Sun En's great reputation back then.
"Yes, I am from this sect."
"Then you don't know what the long-term plan will be?"
"It's actually very simple. Just defeat the Martial Lord Bixuan to destroy the morale of the Turkic army and make them leave."
Yang Guang heard the words and said anxiously: "Taoist Master, please don't joke. Don't say that Ning Sanren is not here. Even if he is here, he would not dare to defeat Bi Xuan easily. Does Taoist Master have other plans?"
Ling Donglai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll go and defeat Bixuan now. Your Majesty only needs to wait for the good news here."
After saying that, before everyone could react, Ling Donglai flew directly off the city wall, came to the Turkic formation, and used his internal power to send a message to name the warrior Bixuan.
The soldiers of the Golden Wolf Army under the Great Khan saw the unusual visitor and did not dare to be careless, so they immediately went back to report to the Khan and Wu Zun.
After a while, a strong man wearing a wild hemp robe and exuding an inexplicable awe-inspiring aura came to Ling Donglai. The man looked at Ling Donglai up and down, feeling that he was in harmony with nature. They are integrated into one body, which is difficult to detect unless you see it with your own eyes.
Not daring to be careless at the moment, he took out the Moon Wolf Spear that was no longer in use.
After both parties reached an agreement, this unpopular martial arts showdown officially began.
Bi Xuan was seen holding a spear and using his "Yang Yang Qigong" with all his strength. The place he hit was turned into scorched earth. On the other hand, Ling Donglai seemed to be forced to have no ability to resist. He just avoided and never fought back.
The surrounding Golden Wolf Army saw this and shouted loudly to cheer for their guardian angel of the grassland. Yang Guang on the city wall was frightened by the sight, but he was afraid that Ling Donglai would be defeated too quickly and affect the morale of the guards.
As time goes by, the power of Bi Xuan's "Yang Yang Qigong" becomes stronger and stronger, and the spear in his hand dances faster and faster, causing the temperature of his body to continue to rise. From the outside, the figures of the two people are due to the increase in temperature. , and became distorted, the power of "Yang Yang Qigong" was pushed to its strongest, and the spear in Bi Xuan's hand formed a whirlwind, making a sound of breaking through the air that shocked the entire audience.
The Turkic soldiers who gathered onlookers were all intoxicated, and their shouts shook the earth.
But Bi Xuan, who was in the center of the battle, became more and more frightened as the fight progressed, because his opponent did not show any signs of panic and remained calm. Unexpectedly, during the battle, his martial arts skills seemed to be seen through by the person in front of him, and he easily dodged every attack.
Moreover, this person is not affected by the surrounding temperature at all. He has tried to use the characteristics of Yanyang Qi several times to drain the surrounding air and create an invisible aura centered on himself to simulate various airflows that affect this person's body. However, every time They were all eliminated without a trace.
If he hadn't been able to feel the fresh energy in his body, he might have regarded this person as an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years and never left the mountain.
Bi Xuan knew in his heart that if he continued to fight, he would be the first to fall from exhaustion, so he raised his heart and raised the strength of the spear in his hand to the highest level, and went straight to Lingdong Lai.
Yang Guang and Li Shimin on the city wall lost their voices and said: "Not good."
The Turkic soldiers under the wall shouted "Wan Sheng" loudly, seeming to be celebrating another victory of the great master of the grassland.
But the most jaw-dropping scene appeared. Ling Donglai, who had never fought back until now, finally took action. He deflected Bi Xuan's full blow with only one palm. The moon wolf spear was released, and Bi Xuan was hit by it. repel.
Everyone in the audience looked at this scene in disbelief. One of the three great masters in the world, the patron saint of the grassland, the Martial Lord Bixuan, was defeated!
Ling Donglai suddenly didn't realize it, as if he had won an ordinary battle, and said calmly: "The winner depends on the outcome. I hope Wu Zun can persuade your Khan to withdraw his troops and avoid the destruction of both sides."
Without waiting for Bi Xuan's answer, Dong Lai flew away and returned to the pass.
Bi Xuan returned to the Turkic Central Army camp, changed his clothes, kept his promise, and began to persuade Shibi Khan to withdraw his troops.
Although the offensive was blocked in the past few days, the Turks still had the advantage, and Shibi Khan was unwilling to retreat so easily.
But just after Bi Xuan showed him the wild hemp robe he wore when fighting Ling Donglai, he withdrew his troops that night.
Just because the inside of the wild linen robe is filled with portraits of people in various poses, and there are a lot of small characters written densely on the side, in the shape of dragons and phoenixes, all over the sides of the linen robe, and in the lower left corner of the linen robe it is written: Ling Dong Lai Po Wu I respect Bixuan's "Miracle of Yanyang" and congratulate you specially.
Because of Bi Xuan's respected position in the grassland, no one dared to look him in the eye. When he returned to the account to change his clothes, he discovered that there were words written all over his back without realizing it.
