The news that Dong Lai and Li Gong broke into the void in front of the Xuanwu Gate was immediately spread throughout the world by the martial arts people watching the battle. The departure of these two people will bring varying degrees of consequences to the country and the world. Shock.
First of all, at the national level, those foreign races that were frightened by Ling Donglai's power and did not dare to invade the final, such as the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo, began to make preparations and take frequent actions after receiving the news that Ling Donglai shattered into the void.
Secondly, in terms of martial arts, the current situation in which the Holy Church is the dominant family will change with the departure of Li Gong.
Just because everything in the Holy Religion is based on his absolute strength, his victorious power allows Li Gong to ignore the opposition within the sect and forcefully implement reforms.
But with the departure of Li Gong, it is unclear whether his previous efforts will be in vain. Although Zhu Yuyan, the deputy leader of the Holy Cult, was appointed to take over the position of leader before Li Gong ascended to the throne, it will eventually be affected by the failure of his predecessor. With the same strength as the sect leader, he could not suppress the wave of opposition within the church.
It is almost foreseeable that this wave will split the Demon Sect, which is not easy to unify.
And this is something that Buddhism is happy to see happen. If the Holy Religion is divided and internal strife arises, then the opportunity for Buddhism to flourish will reappear.
What happened next was as expected by everyone. The Holy Religion, which had been sweeping the martial arts world, finally became divided.
First, Butian Pavilion, which was the most intact, was the first to withdraw from the Holy Cult under the leadership of Yang Xuyan, the descendant of this generation.
Afterwards, the Holy Religion's parts belonging to the Demonic Sect and the True Evangelists also experienced varying degrees of splits. Some of the sect's backbones broke away with some of their disciples.
Fortunately, the three sects of Lotus Sect, Mieqingdao and Shengji Sect were unable to split due to the death of their sect leader and Li Gong took the opportunity to disperse his followers. The Huajian sect was completely destroyed due to the death of the sect leader and heirs.
This news naturally made Buddhism, which had been suppressed by the holy religion, ecstatic. It was believed that Buddhism would be like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when Sun En, the heavenly master, swept across the south. Although Buddhism suffered heavy losses, Sun En's ascension gave Buddhism a chance to breathe. , flourished again.
The only regret that the Buddhist sect felt was that the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, who they thought would take up the banner of splitting the Holy Religion and compete with Zhu Yuyan, did not take advantage of this opportunity to appear, bringing an end to the split of the Holy Religion.
Could it be that they were dealt with early before the battle between Li Gong and Ling Donglai.
Different from the optimistic attitude that dominates Buddhism, Fan Qinghui holds a different view.
She believes that today’s holy religion is the biggest enemy of Buddhism.
Just because the holy religion is different from the Tianshi Tao, only Ling Donglai takes the lead.
His original Yin Kui sect was an evil leader no less inferior to Cihang Jingzhai. There were many masters in his sect, so he needed to be treated seriously by the Buddhist sect.
Now, although Li Gong, the master who dominated the whole world, has been lost, the foundation of the holy religion has not been lost. Although the number of masters in the sect is scattered, they are still numerically superior to Buddhism.
On the other hand, due to the bloodbath of the previous Li Gong, the Buddhist sect lost all its masters such as the Four Holy Monks and Liao Kong. The many Buddhist temples that were its foundation were also cut off by Li Gong, and a large number of middle and low-level talents were lost.
But her voice was no longer taken seriously by Buddhism because of Li Gong's heart-breaking tactics.
And even if the affairs of the Jianghu are turbulent, they cannot affect the progress of the war on the front line and the general trend of unification of the world.
Just when something happened to the Holy Cult, Li Tang's army had also completed the encirclement of Kou Zhong's young commander's army.
Li Yuanji took the lead in leading the troops to join Li Shimin, making the balance of victory begin to tilt towards Li Tang.
When Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) arrived with the troops going to Hebei, Kou Zhong knew that there was no hope of victory, but he relied on his unwillingness to admit defeat to withstand the attacks of Li and Tang armies from all directions.
As for Li Tang, in order to accumulate military merits for Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) and suppress Li Shimin, Li Yuan issued an imperial edict that Li Jiancheng (Chengqian) should succeed Li Shimin as the commander-in-chief of the army.
After Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) saw that the Marshal's army had withstood the first round of Tang Army's attack and could still maintain high morale, he ordered to change the attack to a siege instead of a fight.
Just because Li Jiancheng knew that although he had an absolute advantage, as a son of this world, who knew whether Koo Zhong would cheat and make a comeback.
Even if he could not make a comeback, Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) was afraid of forcing the enemy to hurt others, which made him sink the boat and cause huge damage to his army.
Therefore, they dismissed the idea that Li Shimin and Li Yuanji had completed their efforts in one battle, and began to form a stronghold and beat the sticks.
They surrounded Kou Zhong's young marshal's legions and sent cavalry to cut off their food routes.
No matter how provocative he was, he would not send troops.
When Kou Zhong saw that Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) refused to send troops to fight him, knowing that he was running out of food and grass, he thought of leading his army to break out of the encirclement and launched a series of fierce attacks on the Tang army's camp.
However, they were all resisted by Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian). Instead, he suffered heavy losses by attacking the well-equipped Tang army.
There were some interludes in the middle. The Turks and Goguryeo sent troops to invade, but they were repulsed by Luo Shixin and other prince generals, and a total of 70,000 people were beheaded.
With the pacification of areas such as Hebei and Jiangnan, more and more troops from Li Tang arrived, making Kou Zhong's hope of breaking out of the encirclement even slimmer.
At this moment, the arrival of two visitors from Li Jiancheng's Chinese army camp brought life to Kou Zhong.
The visitors were none other than Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan.
The purpose of their coming to the camp was not to kidnap Li Jiancheng, but to seek a chance for Kou Zhong.
Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) saw that the two men were so loyal, so he asked them to join the Young Marshal's Army to send a message to Kou Zhong. If he was willing to surrender, he would let the Young Marshal's Army under his command have a way out.
And he himself can survive, but the price is to accept Li Tang's imprisonment, and he can only be released when the world is stable.
After Kou Zhong received the letter of persuasion to surrender from the two men and went out of the tent to inspect the camp, he accepted the suggestions of Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan and surrendered to the Tang army.
I also accepted the house arrest of the Tang army and was sent to Chang'an.
The world now belongs to Li Tang.
Li Shimin and Li Yuanji returned to Chang'an with the troops escorting Kou Zhong, and Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) had to arrange for the troops to withdraw to their original territories in batches, and then lead Lin Jun, the commander of his direct troops, to rendezvous with the general Wen Chen under the Prince's Mansion. Return to Chang'an.
But just when Li Jiancheng returned to the court, he continued to receive secret reports from secret spies he had arranged in Chang'an City.
After Li Shimin returned to the dynasty, he was first named General Tiance, led Situ and Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province, and was placed on the prince's throne. The number of households increased to 30,000.
But then, a group of civil servants and generals in Tiance Mansion under his command were transferred and dismissed by Li Yuan using various excuses.
Just when Li Jiancheng (Cheng Qian) led the Changlin Army and his subordinates and officials and generals were about to approach Chang'an, they received an obituary related to Liu Wenjing's death from Li Yuan.
