Chapter XIII The Situation
As the merchant in the wind chime restaurant said, with the arrival of the new year, many things have happened on the mainland. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to the battle between the two empires that everyone is concerned about, there are many news hidden in the rumors. Some people have seen landslides, some people have heard tsunamis, some people have seen white clouds forming a huge whirlpool, and some people say that the rainstorm and the sun coexist in the sky over his hometown, and the people have taken it as a story from boring people, and they forget it, but it really happened, in that unknown world.
On the high mountain, Yang Qixi returned to the Bright Temple, she had gone to the hot land in the south before, looking for a small village there, and by the time she returned, several months had passed. In the bright garden, the peach blossoms seemed to bloom forever, not changing with the seasons, and the pink petals flew in the sky, and she went into the house, thinking about the outcome of this trip to the south.
She had projected back to Chang'an once before, and successfully prevented the idea of the merchant from participating in the dispute between the Tang Dynasty and the ruling, although the merchant complained to her master afterwards, but it was all a trivial matter, she didn't care, and she wouldn't bother with it, she just wanted to find Chen Guyu this time, and then tell him about the fishing village. This time, she found many problems, so in her mind, on the night of the Qixi Festival, the murmuring words in the restaurant man dance came out again, which made her feel a little chilly.
But Chen Guyu disappeared, and there was no trace of him since the Appraisal Meeting, and even his ability to look at the Bright View on the mainland did not get any news, which made her fall into suspicion and worry for a while, because ...... Qianqian's heart voice hasn't responded for a long time.
These days, the news of the fall of the ruling goddess has been circulating in the temple, and even those elders have come to her small courtyard many times to give instructions in every way, and sent countless magic weapons and talismans, she said thank you softly, but in her heart, she began to suspect that even the powerful cloud fall could be life and death, so what about Chen Guyu, after all, the time point in this is not far behind......
Fear, doubt, worry, until one day, the Judgment suddenly found a clue that the fall of their saint seemed to be related to the northern view of rest. So in that bright barrier, one day, the elders suddenly found that their highness had disappeared from the attic, and with it the golden-red sword that had been carrying with them.
There was a tense atmosphere in the Guangming Temple, and soon after, a piece of news came from afar with a certain chilling aura.
Yang Qixi, the saint of the Bright View of Light, on the side of the Heavenly Pond, challenges the Wind Spirit Twins of the Stopping Breath View!
This is a news that many big forces in the world have not expected, although there are often exchanges and discussions between each other, but such a ruthless kick is a long time since I have seen it, there is no worship, there are no elders, and I just went straight to the door, I am afraid that I will tear my face directly......
No one knows why this happened, when Xichuan and Sheng Tang were having a good time, if it was the Guangming Temple and Buddhism, maybe everyone could understand it, but the Stopping Breath Concept has been hidden in the north for hundreds of years, and it has not interfered with the world, even the tribe of the desolate tribe has not been able to intervene, why did it attract a Holy Maiden to come with a soldier?
Not only that, but a few days later, another shocking news came, ruling that His Royal Highness the Holy Son of the Ruling Guan, Ning Bully, also came to challenge the Wind Spirit Twins of the Stopping Breath Concept, and the location was also set on the side of Tianchi, which really made many big people think about it.
But no matter what, once it is contaminated with the Holy Throne, it is almost the will of the entire Taoist Temple, and not long after, several elders of the Judgment Temple and the Light Temple have come to the outside of the Stopping Temple, waiting for the news inside. Although there has not been any recovery in the view of restlessness, everyone believes that under this grudge against the door, this day will not be too long...... Whether it is the final turn of war into peace or the complete triggering of a holy war in the world, it will not be a peaceful day.
More people are speculating about what terrible things did the view of cessation do to lead to this result?
……
Of course, all this happened on the clouds, and the occasional turning over of the dragon on the clouds would make mortals tremble and think that something was wrong, but they didn't know that it was just that the dragon was sleepy and wanted to sleep in a different position.
Those are two different worlds, and in terms of lifespan alone, it is also the difference between a hundred years and a thousand years, and it is impossible to cross it at all.
The war between the Tang Dynasty and Xichuan continued.
As the attacking party, Xichuan occupied the right time and place, and at the beginning, he directly crossed the sighing ravine and broke through Jinju City, and soon after, Daijiang Realm also fell.
In just a few months, the 36 realms of the Tang Empire have become 35 realms, which can be described as a major event that has not happened in the past thousand years, but the Tang Dynasty is also worthy of being a great empire with a deep heritage, even if Chang'an was hit hard not long ago, and the national fortunes declined, the Tang Emperor still cleared Chang'an with vigorous and resolute means, dispatched troops, and counterattacked Xichuan's troops outside the Daijiang River, and the battle was full of anxiety for a while.
In addition, it was winter just caught up, and under the snow, it was still extremely unfavorable for the war, and the Xichuan Empire finally retreated after several failed attacks, taking the entire Daijiang Territory as a stronghold, and soldiers and food were continuously transported from the rear, and began to recuperate, waiting for the attack in the coming year.
Sheng Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief, they came in a hurry, in fact, they didn't have much combat effectiveness, the decline of the country's fortunes was not a trivial matter, the morale, and even public opinion of the army had changed a lot, which also made several adults who led the army feel tired from the bottom of their hearts, and then invariably remembered the front-line general Wang Slow, who could fight well. If he was there, the result would have been much better, but unfortunately, I heard that General Wang Slow had been killed by the Western thieves on the front line, which was really untimely.
This year's winter was indeed particularly cold, and the heavy snow closed the road, which also made the war more and more difficult. If you start a fight with guns, then in the end, I am afraid that there will be no victory or defeat at all, but a cruel defeat for both sides.
The troops of the Xichuan Empire were stationed in that generation of the river realm, if it wasn't for the fact that they happened to capture this area to be able to nourish the war with war, they were afraid that they would all have to return to the Xichuan Empire after this heavy snowfall, after all, it was the attacking side, and there were too many restricted conditions, but this time, the heavens happened to be on their side, and they successfully harvested this entire realm a year ago.
The army of the Tang Empire was stationed in the fine willow pass not far from the Daijiang Border, which was a famous natural danger in the Tang Dynasty, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was precisely by virtue of this advantage that the Tang Dynasty army had time to rest to a certain extent.
Snow is falling all winter, temperatures are changing, and small-scale wars are breaking out all the time. Around the Taixi Mountains outside the Xiliu Pass, among the branches and forests that are very low and low under the snow, the army from the Tang Dynasty and the warriors from Xichuan compete for the key areas every day, and when the climate warms in the spring of the next year, they will launch attacks or counterattacks in one fell swoop, thus laying the foundation for some victories.
Therefore, in the snow-covered mountains, there are soldiers who die inadvertently all the time, some small encounters, raids, sneak attacks, or head-to-head confrontations, corpses are piled up all over the mountains, and the bright red blood has also stained the pure white ground, but soon it is covered with goose feather snow, and at a glance, it is still dazzlingly white.
Chang'an has been rebuilt, and the Tang Emperor has made many battle plans this winter, and the former veterans and his elite soldiers have all been sent to the front line, and even opened the treasury, forcibly eliminating the bureaucracy in the old empire in a very domineering and effective way, so that materials and food can be supported quickly. Although this move offended many nobles at once, and even some ministers in the court also talked about it, the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty finally improved a little bit.
There are food, soldiers, and the delegation of power from the Tang Emperor, and these generals on the front line also have a moment of respite for a while, and the defense of Xiliuguan is getting tighter, and the competition for the Taixi Mountains is becoming more and more fierce.
The Tang Dynasty has made corresponding preparations, and the Xichuan Empire is naturally the same, although it is still peaceful behind them, and Shanglin Tianjing is also full of lights at the time of the Yuan Dynasty, a festive image, but since the emperor has already intended to attack the Tang Dynasty, then all aspects will not be ambiguous, and when the soldiers are full of food, Xichuan actually has a greater advantage.
People are dying every day, but every day more soldiers are coming in from the rear, the city is getting stronger and stronger, the conflict is becoming more and more intense, and as the snow gradually decreases, after the Yuan Xi, the long-lost spring is finally coming.
There are more and more soldiers guarding the side wall, and they are constantly replaced from morning to night, just in case they need it. The generals held more and more meetings, and strategic plans were passed out of the generals' battalions and sent to the various sub-battalions. On the edge of the city wall, some people were silently sharpening their knives, and there was a sound of Huohuo, and some people were standing outside the city gate looking at the great rivers and mountains that were blurred under the snow, and their eyes revealed a bloodthirsty desire.
Why the war?
For conquest, for protection, but more importantly, for contribution.
Fame and fortune, that's all good things, that's profit. People all over the world are bustling with each other, aren't they just for profit? It's just that they are fighting more than ordinary people, and they are fighting with their lives, and in exchange for more benefits, there is no retreat in such a war.
When the spring flowers are blooming, everyone's eyes have this kind of longing and bloodthirsty fierceness.
War is on the verge of breaking out in silent silence.
