Chapter 311: Xuanyuan (4)

Tie Binghe raised a black face full of dirt, and it was full of traces of wind and frost, and no one could have imagined what a famous Great Alliance Leader had experienced in the past ten years.

The story was told in his mouth, and none of the nearly 1,000 people present made a sound, and even Ling Yun was curious about what happened to this sloppy old man, who actually became what he is today.

It all started ten years ago, when the Immortal Cultivation Conference ended, the four major sects won an overwhelming victory and retained their position, and none of the sects in the rivers and lakes were enough to shake their position, they became the alliance leaders of the four realms of the southeast, the northwest and the northwest, and led hundreds of large and small sects within one realm.

Ten years ago, it was also a special year, this was the first immortal cultivation conference in the Central Plains after the Great Qi Hong clan died in the world.

Xianbei Tuoba clan was originally outside the Great Wall, wandering in the north of the desert grassland nomadic tribe, because of the decline of the Xiongnu Dynasty, the Xianbei tribe as a branch of the grassland tribe, developed and expanded, gradually annexed other grassland tribes, expanded their own power, plus the successive leaders of the Tuoba clan made great efforts, took many sinicization measures, learned the iron casting process in the interior, and even many Xianbei generals talked about the Three Kingdoms to be more familiar than the Han army, so for a time became the overlord of the grassland, invincible, invincible.

However, the Tuoba clan, which was impregnated with Confucian culture, was no longer willing to endure the torture of extreme cold and barrenness on this desert grassland, but coveted the Central Plains, conquered the last tribe on the grassland, and began to launch a large-scale attack on the Central Plains.

The majestic Great Wall, in the late period of the Great Qi, has long been in tatters, the beacon tower and the border town policy, has long been abolished, the corrupt Great Qi royal family and bureaucrats, anxious to spend all the silver on their singing and dancing towers, where to have the money for the border soldiers who fought hard, in just three months, the border nine towns have been captured six towns, only three towns coolie support.

When the news reached the palace of Daqi, the authoritarian eunuch put the news on hold, and when the emperor saw this critical information with his own eyes, Xianbei's forces were only more than 100 miles away from the capital, and the emperor of Daqi had no danger to defend, exposed in front of the main army of Xianbei.

The nine towns on the border, in less than five months, were captured by Xianbei Lik, slaughtering the city, killing soldiers and civilians, no less than 300,000 people, and all the wealth in the city was looted.

The leader of the Tuoba clan never imagined that this huge empire was actually just an empty shell, a complete paper tiger, which looked huge in size, but was actually vulnerable.

Under the siege of three months in the capital, the Qinwang army that did not wait for the help of all parts of the world for a long time was not that there were no loyal people of the Great Qi Hongclan in the world, but that millions of people died of starvation in the northwest famine, and the rogue invaded the territory, and it was already unable to return to the sky, and the Qinwang army that led the army to the aid in the southeast was rejected by the Xianbei army in the south of the big river, and the patrol could not get close, even if it fought to the death, the army that barely crossed the river was also unable to resist the Xianbei cavalry rush to kill, and it was completely lost.

For a long period of ten months, there has been a phenomenon of cannibalism in the city, even in the palace, a large number of palace maids have starved to death, the emperor's diet can not be guaranteed, sometimes can only eat bran vegetables, meat on the market has long been unable to see, fortunately maintained for a long time, just because the reserves of the granary in the capital are enough to consume, but the granary is almost at the bottom.

In the cold early winter, the ministers, who could no longer endure this inhuman hellish life, collectively mutinied, entered the palace, and in desperation, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to surrender.

The Xianbei people know very well that if they do not attack for a long time, the court of Daqi will not be able to hold on, and they will be in chaos.

At this point, the Xianbei people occupied all the land north of the Great River, and the Great Qi was destroyed.

The king of Chu surnamed Hong, who was divided by the Great Qi in the south, ascended the throne and became the emperor under the support of a group of old ministers, and announced to the world that he wanted to crusade against the Hulu Xianbei people in the north, but before he sat on the hot seat, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xianbei people had already rested, waved their troops south, crossed the river, and were unstoppable all the way to the Yangtze River moat.

The king of Chu thought that there was a barrier from the moat, and the northern barbarians, who were not good at water warfare, would never be able to cross the river and annex their last territory, so they could sit back and relax, get drunk every day, and continue to live a luxurious life in the past.

However, the northern barbarians in his eyes have obviously established a powerful naval army, even if the king of Chu ordered to scuttle all the ships south of the Yangtze River, Pian Jia is not allowed to go down the river, and nearly a thousand miles of thistles are set up along the coast, once the Xianbei ships come, it is enough to scuttle.

However, the 100,000 army of the Xianbei people, taking advantage of the dark night, crossed the river to come, landed from the weakest defense along the beach, when the east dawned, outside the palace, it was already full of the banner of the Xianbei people, when the fat king of Chu fled in a panic, he did not forget his concubine, but unfortunately he was too fat, and the belly could fit a pig, when he escaped from the palace from the small door, he was unfortunately caught between the doors, so that his concubine could not escape, and the Xianbei people who were chased took turns to be humiliated, and the tragic situation was unspeakable.

This king of Chu, who ate with such a big belly, did not waste it in the end, was taken by the Xianbei soldiers to cut his belly, regardless of his screams, lit a fire, and roasted human flesh to eat.

This move is nothing more than to deter the vast southern territory that has not yet surrendered, don't have the idea of being an enemy of the Xianbei people, especially don't want to launch a descendant of the Hong family to be the emperor again, how miserable the death will be.

This year, almost half of the land in the north and south of the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Xianbei people.

It just so happened that this year was also the year of the Immortal Cultivation Conference, once every ten years, rain or shine, people from all walks of life gathered at Xuanyuan Peak again.

But this year's immortal cultivation conference, it seems a little sparse, many loyal and righteous men on the rivers and lakes, have already died on the battlefield of resistance with the Xianbei army, even if they escape from death, watching the land fall, they are all disheartened, escape from the world, where will they participate in this immortal cultivation conference.

Therefore, the main force participating in the meeting is still the four major alliance leaders of the previous session, these four major sects, Xuanhuang in the north, the great wilderness in the south, and the blood in the west. Taihai in the east, it is impossible not to be affected by the change of dynasties, but after all, they are big sects, and the reason why they have stood for hundreds of years is that they know the truth that strong trees are easy to break, and they will obey when they are strong, and they will not compete with each other, which is their creed, so they are eager to stay out of the world in the struggle between Daqi and Xianbei, and when Xianbei showed signs of victory, they used the way they have always been good at showing favor to the Xianbei court, this kind of immortal cultivation conference is also a good opportunity, in the southernmost territory that Xianbei has just conquered, as the most powerful four major sects on the rivers and lakes, to make a statement and guidance, which is also what the Xianbei court wants them to do。

Therefore, the four major sects not only did not reduce their enthusiasm for this immortal cultivation conference, but they were more active, not only to do it, but also to do it well, they came to the foot of Xuanyuan Peak early, and planned the affairs of the conference, especially this time to prevent those people who are inclined to the great Qi from being in the limelight or gaining the upper hand, and even joined the secret agents of the imperial court within the sect.
