Chapter 340: The Imperial Driver's Expedition
The common people in this era are very miserable.
Because they are likely to encounter a winter that occurs once in a thousand years.
But in this era, the common people are very happy.
Because they're witnessing a piece of history.
A history that can change the entire wilderness.
Every ordinary person is a witness to history.
When the news of the barbarians taking in the daughter of the Demon King spread back to Middle-earth from the grassland, the temple was the first to react.
Ziwei Zun personally wrote a letter.
In the letter, Ziwei Zun used extremely harsh words, and he ordered the barbarians to hand over the daughter of the demon king immediately, otherwise the temple would start a full-scale war with the barbarians!
In addition, Ziwei Zun also focused on the threat of the Demon King's daughter and the horror of winter at the end of the letter.
And Ziwei Zun also made a promise, as long as the barbarians handed over the daughter of the demon king, then the temple could guarantee that they would never use troops against the barbarians in the next hundred years, and recognize the territory they gained on the grassland.
This temptation is not to be insignificant.
After all, the barbarians have struggled for so long, just to return to their homeland and live forever.
The temple thought that Ziwei Venerable had already gone out in person, and explained the importance of the matter so clearly, the barbarians should know what to do.
But no one expected that the barbarian would simply refuse the invitation of the temple.
Although they are very gentle in their wording, they try to use words that seem to be very soft, describing the behavior of taking in the daughter of the demon king as very helpless.
But rejection is rejection, and speaking out is also rejection.
The temple is furious!
The army is assembled!
The steppe was suddenly shrouded in the shadow of war.
This is the real declaration of war on the barbarians by the temple for many years, and it used to be a small-scale team battle, but this time the temple is real.
With the action of the temple, the Seven Kingdoms of the Great Wilderness will naturally not lag behind.
For the sake of the future of the Great Wilderness, the Seven Kingdoms temporarily coexist peacefully, and the biggest threat is solved first.
In just half a month, more than a million troops have gathered on the border line of the grassland, and even the Tang Dynasty has sent elite divisions to assist the operation of the temple.
This is the first time in the world.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty and the Temple have never dealt with each other, and many people are worried about whether the Tang Army and the Temple team will fight first, but judging from the current situation, it should not happen.
Tang Jun put his position very low, they are not here to make noise, they are here for the future of the Great Wilderness.
Don't let the demon king come to the world, don't let the winter come.
But when another piece of news came, the entire border line, including the Tang Army, was boiling.
His Majesty, Emperor Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty, is the royal driver!
This is the first time since Li Hong became emperor that he has left the palace and left Chang'an!
Li Hong's departure from Chang'an is definitely not a trivial matter.
The slightest carelessness may make the Tang Dynasty fall into turmoil.
And now several princes of the Tang Dynasty are fighting for the crown prince.
At this juncture, Li Hong left Chang'an.
It's crazy.
......
The Yan State built a Great Wall on the border line to defend against enemies on the grassland, but because the national strength was gradually declining, the treasury could not come up with money, and the Great Wall was stopped at the beginning.
But this beginning is really good.
The Don Army was stationed in this area.
Li Hong, accompanied by his personal eunuch and Tao Chuankai, boarded the beacon tower.
"Your Majesty, the wind is strong, let's go back to camp. The eunuch whispered to the side.
Li Hong glanced at him: "My body is not so bad that I can't even withstand this little wind. ”
"The minions know their mistakes. "The eunuch's waist is arched deeper.
Li Hong put his hand on the edge of the beacon tower, raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said with emotion: "What a good pasture, how many war horses can be cultivated, it's a pity." ”
Tao Chuankai said: "Your Majesty, the minister always feels that Your Majesty's move is too reckless. The national teacher was sick, the master was closed, and the disciples of the academy refused to accompany him because of Zhou Fei's matter. There are almost no available people around Your Majesty, and if you encounter a strong enemy, it will be difficult for the minister to guarantee Your Majesty's safety. ”
Li Hong said with a smile: "My ears are about to be calloused by you, you have been chattering since we met, I have to listen to the chatter of the ministers in the palace, and I have to listen to your chatter when I come to the border, I am really a little irritable." ”
Tao Chuankai knelt down directly: "I collided with Your Majesty, and the minister deserves death." ”
Li Hong said: "Get up and speak." ”
Tao Chuankai slowly stood up.
Li Hong said: "You have seen Zhou Fei." ”
"I've seen it. Tao Chuankai said.
"How do you feel?" asked Li Hong.
"The minister can only say, regret. Tao Chuankai replied.
Li Hong said with emotion: "Yes, I also feel sorry. But his personality is very much like his mother, so if there is a mother, there must be a son. ”
"How's the Flying Tiger Army doing?"
Tao Chuankai said: "The mood is quite stable. ”
"I owe too much to the Flying Tigers. Li Hong rubbed his eyebrows, "Looking back now, I can't understand why I gave such an order in the first place, it's really confusing." ”
Tao Chuankai comforted: "Your Majesty, it has been so long, it is useless to think about it. Let's go back to the camp. ”
Li Hong stretched out his hand and pointed at him: "You guy, change the law and let me go back to the camp." I'm out there, making you restless?"
Tao Chuankai said: "Your Majesty, more than seventy percent of the masters of the Great Wilderness have gathered on this border. ”
Li Hong laughed: "There are indeed many masters, but their target has never been me, but barbarians. The battle of the trapped beasts was the most tragic, otherwise the temple would not be so tense. The barbarians were able to survive in the extreme north for so many years, and their physical fitness had surpassed that of the people of the Seven Kingdoms of Middle-earth. And the special cultivation method makes them even more powerful, whether it is a master of the temple or a master of another country, it is not easy to swallow up the barbarians in one fell swoop. ”
Tao Chuankai said: "It's true to say that, but it's indispensable to guard against people, Your Majesty." I'm not worried about the other six countries, the only thing the minister is afraid of is the temple. ”
"The minister learned that all the high priests in the temple had arrived this time, except for Ziwei Venerable. Among them, the Seven Killing Priest Chu Weirui, the Lianzhen Priest Huayue, the Giant Gate Priest Feng Evil, the Kaiyang Priest Liumu and the Broken Army Priest Xie Yi are the masters among the masters. If one of them tries to do evil to His Majesty, it will be very difficult for us to resist it with our current defense capabilities. ”
Li Hong said lightly: "You also said that we can't resist, so no matter where I am, the threat is just as high." What does it make if you don't go back to the camp or not?"
Tao Chuankai: "Your Majesty ......"
"Alright. Saying that it is as light as water three times, you don't feel annoyed and annoyed. Li Hong's face sank: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you don't have the sharpness you had when I first promoted you, Xiao Tao, I am a little disappointed in you." ”
