Taking the Anshi Rebellion as the dividing line, the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion was able to conquer and expand its territory and was considered a world hegemon. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has been reducing its foreign wars and no longer pays attention to Central Asia and even Europe.
Once the imperial court was too weak to launch a war, the murderous hostility would come back to the emperors of the past dynasties, leaving them weak and unable to restrain their subordinates. The government would inevitably be divided for a long time, and the land gained through war would soon be lost.
Moreover, this process affects each other!
If the country is weak and the monarch's power is weakened, it will inevitably be unable to wage wars. Without spoils, the evil god of war will turn against the emperor, making it impossible for the emperor to control his ministers. The ministers will create large vassals and towns, which in turn will continue to weaken the monarch's power, eventually leading to the emperor's complete loss of power. , his luck was swallowed up by the evil god of war.
It can be said that the reason why Li Tang was destroyed by force was entirely due to the change from external war to internal fighting in the vassal town. If he violated the agreement with the evil god of war, the country would definitely be torn apart and there would be no possibility of gathering together.
It is also because of this that after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms emerged one after another from the territory of the Tang Dynasty. If we look at the territory, the Tang Dynasty was divided into pieces by the vassal towns, and the territory corresponded to the annihilation of the country and the genocide by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
If it weren't for the existence of the Soul Palace, Li Tang would not have existed as early as the Wu Zhou Dynasty. The Wu Zhou era also happened to be the era when the Li Tang royal family died the most.
Her explanation is completely consistent with the purpose of the Soul Palace. Although it has elements of strange power and chaos, it also makes people clear the purpose of Li Tang people worshiping Chi You and sacrificing flesh and blood.
Song Siyuan continued: "Of course, this is just our own speculation, and it is far-fetched. What I am more worried about is, if this clam still exists, will it continue to manipulate other corpses to find food for it, in order to save it once and for all? , we should also get rid of the clams, so as not to leave any harm."
"It's better that we destroy the corpse tower, so that Chi You seems to have no flesh and blood to be enshrined. Regardless of whether this is useful or not, at least we have solved the problem."
Song Siyuan's proposal is indeed feasible, but it is destined to be very dangerous. This huge clam has existed for thousands of years. God knows what it looks like inside. If you explode the corpse tower rashly, the clam will be disturbed. After thinking about it, Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan were a little hesitant.
"If you ask me, this is what you should do. It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Since this thing can control zombies to capture living creatures, there is no guarantee that one day it will also capture living people."
Yue Guanchao looked at Zhang Hansheng. There was no danger along the way, but he suffered heavy losses after encountering zombies. He lost nearly a hundred soldiers and the entire engineer battalion was involved.
At this moment, except for seven or eight elites, the old bandit could not find anyone who could be used. He did not say this to eliminate harm for the people, but just wanted to avenge these soldiers and bandits.
"Mr. Zhang, since you have decided to eliminate harm for the people, we will not stop you. However, I have not prepared any gunpowder, so please help."
Yue Guanchao knew that he couldn't stop the old bandit, so he simply gave him a favor.
"You don't have to worry about this."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hansheng glanced at the engineers behind him. They took out the gunpowder from their backpacks, climbed up the huge corpse tower, and placed the gunpowder in sections in the stone niches of the tower. When all the leads were connected, everyone stepped back. Go outside the palace gate.
There was only a loud roar, and the countless gunpowder exploded the corpse tower into several pieces. The corpse tower could not maintain its balance and fell to the ground with a huff.
For a time, the smell of loess, wet mud mixed with blood and water filled the hall, and the mummified corpses were fried like minced meat and stuck between the pillars on the floor. The statues were all dirty, and there was no majesty left at all. They stood outside, After the mud and mud had dissipated, they began to walk in front of the corpse tower.
At this time, only the half-meter-high base of the corpse tower, which was about two or three stories high, was left. Corpses mixed with loess were shattered all over the ground. Standing on the mound and looking inside, you can clearly see a direction in the middle of the tower base. The cave under the ground is about the size of a granary, and there is a constant stream of fishy smell coming out of it, making people's throats feel salty!
Zhang Hansheng signaled the surrounding engineers to explore the path first. They walked to the cave with guns and looked inside. After turning on the flashlight, what appeared inside made several people's eyes widen.
"Boss, there's a tower in here!"
These words aroused everyone's idea. Yue Guanchao and the others took the opportunity to walk nearby and shine their flashlights. In the white light, the things in the cave gradually came into view.
There is an ancient tower in the cave that is larger than the Corpse Storage Tower. The tower is covered with golden branches, just like an ancient tree in the center of the earth that reaches to the sky and the earth. The water inside is roaring and the sea is overflowing. It can be seen that the tower base is like a cage. There are iron chains clasping the shell and tying it near the base, completely trapping the thousand-year-old clam that is as big as a house.
There are tentacles all over the tower, and some of them have broken off. They may have been affected by the explosion just now. Looking in the distance, you can see the rugged rock walls and rushing underground rivers. Looking at the lot of wet mud accumulated on the shore, this is probably a thousand-year-old clam. Lair!
"Gold? Is it really gold?"
When Zhang Hansheng heard about gold, his eyes lit up with greed again!
"Boss, it is indeed true!"
Zhang Hansheng saw that all the engineers were dead. It would be difficult to get back these treasures. He just wanted to be realistic and take back as much as he could.
"Okay, you all come down with me. You must avenge your dead brothers no matter what!"
