Chapter 358 Oshino Fan Loves to Listen to Stories Some small discrepancies are also enjoyable
The talent of Confucianism in governing the world, the people of the Demon Gate who troubled the world, and the Buddhist monks who finally disappeared in the dust and finally disappeared in history, all of them are all in one, and they are all the things of the evil king, however, this is of no use - it can change the trajectory of the world, but it cannot change its own destiny, and the simple individual who was born as a human being is only a weak and pathetic miscellaneous fish under fate after all!
And now, the evil king is even more nowhere to be found, even if Shi Qingyi wants to find it, he will definitely not be able to find him!
And the second person who can influence Shi Qingyi's decision to keep her in Chang'an is the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and Shi Qingyi's "brother......
In the past, because of an unintentional chance encounter, Shi Qingyi inadvertently broke into the life of the eldest grandson Wuji, and thus became the righteous sister of the eldest grandson Wuji, the righteous daughter of the eldest grandson, and the sister of the eldest grandson's younger sister, however, later, with the occurrence of a series of sad things, the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson passed away one after another, and since then, the eldest grandson Wuji has only one relative left in this world.
For Shi Qingyi, the eldest grandson Wuji may be a very different passerby, however, it is just that, after all, dust to dust, dust to dust, after the death of the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson who once caused her heart to throb extremely throbbing, the eldest grandson Wuji who left behind is just a "friend of a friend" who needs to be taken care of for Shi Qingyi! β
However, Shi Qingyi is also clear that after the death of Mrs. Changsun and the eldest grandson, his meaning to Changsun Wuji is completely different, because of himself. has become the only close relative of the eldest grandson Wuji in this world, and has unconsciously become the emotional sustenance of the eldest grandson Wuji for his mother and little sister, so in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji will do anything for Shi Qingyi, even if he gives his own life, he is willing to do it.
So. Even though he has already become Li Shimin's friend, but in the face of many difficulties, even Li Shimin's henchmen are shaken, the eldest grandson Wuji will always stand firmly on the side of Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi. And Li Shimin is undoubtedly very aware of this, and because of this, he regards the eldest grandson Wuji as a confidant that he can always trust. Because the eldest grandson Wuji will never betray, and this is not just because of the in-law relationship between the two......
From the Battle of Guanzhong. To the bloody fight in the Western Qin, then to the Hedong fight, the Central Plains, a series of battles, all the way to the Xuanwu Gate, the eldest grandson Wuji was almost inseparable from Li Shimin, so that the intimacy between them almost made all opponents and companions think. These two golden partners will never be separated, after all. Li Shimin's trust in the eldest grandson Wuji surpasses everyone, and the eldest grandson Wuji is indeed worthy of Li Shimin's trust, with him by Li Shimin's side to sort out government affairs for him, analyze the current situation, and solve many difficult and miscellaneous matters for Li Shimin...... However, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji is indeed no longer by Li Shimin's side. At this time, he was alone in the barren and vast desert in the north, secretly arranging a big game of chess for Li Shimin - just like his father Changsun Sheng once did for Emperor Yang Jian of Sui Wendi......!
It is true that the eldest grandson Wuji is undoubtedly loyal to Li Shimin, however. But this does not mean that the eldest grandson Wuji does not have his own knowledge, and in fact, in order to remove all the factors that can threaten Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, the eldest grandson Wuji will never be jealous of soiling his own hands, so when he was in Xuanwu Gate, he would take advantage of the time when Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi were flawless to separate, and arbitrarily kill all the descendants of the prince and the king of Qi, thinking that Li Shimin would get rid of this trouble! Although later, because of this incident, Li Shimin felt guilty for a while, but he had to admit that the eldest grandson Wuji's approach was right, because the final result of Li Shimin's inability to do so would inevitably be that these sons and nephews who had a grudge against him for killing their father would pose a major threat to their own heirs.
People are selfish, especially when he is a father, and Li Shimin is naturally no exception, so although he is extremely guilty in his heart, in his heart, Li Shimin is secretly grateful to the eldest grandson Wuji's approach.
And this time, in order to defeat the overlord on the grassland, Li Shimin's powerful enemy, the Turkic Empire, the eldest grandson Wuji once again acted arbitrarily, left from Li Shimin's side, and quietly entered the territory of the Turkic Empire alone, however, this time the eldest grandson Wuji's action was not the development of his long-planned plan, but a powerful and soon in trouble stretched out his begging hands to the eldest grandson Wuji, and this force has a deep family relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji. So that the eldest grandson Wuji could not doubt the sincerity of the other party, and it was difficult to resist the temptation of the huge benefits brought by the other party's refuge, so in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji decided to resolve the previous unhappiness with this force, thus accepting this huge force with a pivotal position in the grassland, and using this as a foundation, secretly infiltrated various tribal forces on the grassland......
This force is, of course, the Demon Sect, one of the six branches of the ancient Demon Gate inheritance, although it was greatly affected by the calculations and blows of the righteous path in the world in the previous dynasty, and the power collapsed several times, however, under the leadership of the Demon Sect's outstanding leader Demon Shuai, this demon sect force that was forced to leave Middle-earth and go to the grassland to develop has never been more vigorous, and even once confused the upper echelons of the entire steppe Turkic Empire, becoming one of the most powerful forces on the grassland.
And just when the development of the Demon Xiangzong in the grassland reached an extreme glory, the land of China, the origin of the Middle Earth Demon Gate, was finally plunged into war because of the great achievements of the emperor of the previous dynasty and the intrigue of various forces, and finally the entire world of the previous dynasty fell apart, and the emperor Yang Guang himself was betrayed and killed by his own subordinates. The world is in turmoil, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the Demon Sect, which has been rooted in the grassland and has been thriving for a long time: the Demon Shuai then formulated a plan: to use the remnants of the Demon Sect that still exist in the interior of China and other branches of the Demon Sect that are willing to join forces with the Demon Sect as an internal response, and unite the "Great Ming Zun Sect" (Manichaeism in the East), which also has great power in the grassland, so as to fully cooperate with the Turkic Empire to invade the Central Plains in the south, so as to repeat the ancient legend that the Yellow Emperor of Xirong entered the Central Plains, Or continue the past of Zhao Shile, the former Qin Fujian, and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the late Han Dynasty. Even if you can't settle the Dingyu in one fell swoop, calm the four seas. It is also necessary to divide the world in two, and then, in the long run.
After all, since ancient times, when China fell into the division between the north and the south, it has always been a situation in which the north is strong and the south is weak, and reunification is often initiated and completed by the north. Therefore, even if the Turkic Empire could not completely annex the entire land of China for a while, as long as it could firmly occupy the northern foundation after that, then even if time passed, the regime changed, and finally the unification of the country would inevitably start from the north......
If you don't follow state affairs, it is difficult for Buddhism to stand, almost like the evil king who is also a demon giant, and the demon marshal in the grassland has also realized this truth. Therefore, even if it will involve the Demon Sect in such an extremely dangerous thing as fighting for dominance in the world because of this, since the Demon Shuai has already made up his mind, he will definitely not waver. Therefore, when this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came, the Demon Shuai and his Demon Sect finally couldn't bear it anymore and were about to move in secret.
In fact, it is open from the bright side. At this time, the demon commander really had a lot of favorable conditions: in the land of China, which had fallen into a state of division and separation, no matter which force was definitely not the opponent of the Eastern Turkic Empire with complete strength. The Demon Sect itself is the elite of the Middle-earth civilization inheritance, and naturally, it understands the psychology of the people of Middle-earth best, so that it can act as a guide, greatly reducing the resistance of the Middle-earth people to the Turks and greatly accelerating the process of integration between the two sides, plus the mysterious religion that came from the West. The brainwashing ability of that religion is so strong that even the leader of the Demon Sect, who was born in the local Demon Sect, was amazed, so the original Demon Shuai was indeed extremely confident, believing that the Chinese people were deterring by force in the powerful Turkic Empire on their side, and it was also out of recognition of the inheritance of the Demon Sect doctrine of their own Chinese civilization. and the powerful brainwashing education of the Ming Zun Sect, under the three-pronged approach, it will be easy to agree with the rule of the Turkic Empire, so as to achieve the goal that the demon marshal wants to achieve.
As the inheritor of the Demon Gate of Chinese civilization, the ambition in the mind of the Demon Shuai is of course not only for the little profit brought by the Turkic people as a leading party, so how can a little bit of secular interests be seen by the far-sighted and ambitious Demon Shuai, what the Demon Shuai wants is to let the doctrine of the Demon Gate expand with the expansion of the Turkic Empire, and then become the orthodox doctrine of the whole world!
Therefore, for this reason, the Demon Marshal must first develop and expand the power of the Turkic Empire that believes in his own doctrine at all costs, first of all, Mobei, the entire grassland, secondly, the Western Regions, Middle Earth, China, and then, the distant land of the Far Western States, and the more distant wilderness south of Jiaozhi in the south...... Until the end of the world!!
Originally, in the plan of the Demon Shuai, even if the Eastern Turkic Empire on the grassland wanted to unify Mobei and annex the Turkic Empire in the Western Regions, it would take at least two generations of efforts, and due to the strength of the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains, the implementation time of the plan to enter the Central Plains was actually far away, however, then because of the death of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, it gave the Demon Shuai and the Eastern Turkic Empire an excellent opportunity. Merge the steppes and Middle-earth under the rule of the Turkic Empire.
It should be said that the preparation of the Demon Sect headed by the Demon Shuai is indeed extremely sufficient, originally divided into two, and the various departments of the Eastern Turkic Empire, which are full of contradictions, have gradually eliminated the contradictions under the adjustment of the Demon Shuai, thus unifying the strength, and in terms of the Middle Earth Demon Gate, after the Demon Shuai promised great benefits with the transcendent identity of the Turkic National Teacher, who jumped out of the Central Plains and fought for the righteous path of the world, in the Demon Gate, in addition to those fanatics who were desperate for the evil king and the queen of the yin, many branches were moved, As long as the Demon Marshal can show a strong strength comparable to his promise, then these scattered Demon Gate branches will fall to the Demon Marshal one after another, offering enough loyalty to him.
Long before the world was completely disrupted, the Ming Zun Sect had unconsciously repaired the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and quietly infiltrated its own power tentacles into the land of China, and when the Chinese Chaos broke out completely, due to the impact of the war, the lives of the people in China were often extremely difficult, and it was in such a situation that as a branch of Manichaeism in the east, the teachings and ideas of Manichaeism propagated by the Ming Zun Sect could be exceptionally welcomed by the people. Therefore, during this period, the Great Ming Zun Sect actually created a miracle of rapid expansion of power!!
Not to mention, in fact, due to the civil strife in the Central Plains affecting the frontier, many important military towns that originally bordered the Turkic Empire on the long northern border were replied. The lack of support and a series of other problems caused chaos, either by careerists to become actually independent warlords, or by the Turkic Empire, which has always been eyeing the Turkic Empire, took advantage of this opportunity to destroy in one fell swoop, and those military towns that survived and were taken over by careerists had to be forced to submit to the strong strength of the Turks, and became the sphere of influence controlled by the Turkic Empire between voluntarily and forced. In the past, it was originally an important military town to protect the Chinese civilization in Middle-earth from being endangered by the grassland peoples, but now it has become a bridgehead for the peoples on the grassland to invade the Chinese land......
To know. However, where the main forces of the Chinese empire were located, most of the main forces of its armies were inevitably distributed in the northern frontiers to prevent the invasion of the northern nomads, and even the former Sui Dynasty, after the defeat of the expedition to Goryeo, the number of its frontier troops stationed in the north to guard the frontier remained about one-third of the remaining army in the country. And due to the cold environment in the north, as well as the factor of fighting the northern nomads for many years. The elite of the border army in the north is by no means comparable to the garrisons in other regions.
Therefore, the Turkic Empire, which stretched its tentacles into almost the entire defense line of the former Sui Dynasty, actually stole about one-third of the military power of the former Sui Empire, although this power was somewhat depleted due to civil strife, and the strength was greatly dispersed due to the division of the warlords in the actual major towns, but even so. Such a powerful force will inevitably cause great panic among the people in the hinterland of China because of this......
Powerful force deterrence, shrewd moles to lead the way, and sheer numbers. A puppet army with considerable combat power, coupled with the brainwashing ability of the mysterious and strange religion from the Western Regions that is enough to quickly erase the great trauma caused by social change. So that the Demon Shuai and the people of the Demon Sect under his command have enough reason to believe that they have a great advantage in this plan......
But is that really the case? The answer is: No!
After all, when it comes to the huge interests related to themselves, even the famous wise people are inevitably caught in it for this reason, and thus lose their proportions, the so-called profit and wisdom are like this, and this time, even the demon commander who has always been shrewd has fallen into the blind spot in his sight from the beginning - he only sees his own huge advantage, and does not find the same huge and fatal flaw that is coexisting with his own huge advantage!
The tribes on the steppe have always been scattered, so although the Turkic Empire has also completed the unification of the various tribes on the steppe like the overlords of the steppe, such as the Dog Rong, the Ghost Fang, the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, and the Rouran, the scale and height of this unity are far from comparable to the high unity of the Chinese civilization that is close at hand, and therefore, most of the forces in the Turkic Empire are actually bound to be contained in the struggle of the various tribal forces within the empire, and cannot free their hands, and therefore, The Turks were actually able to mobilize all their strength to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, but in fact, it was really limited, and with such a meager force entering the Central Plains, it would definitely not have any huge impact on the Chinese civilization with a large population and vast territory, but on the contrary, this small force would be like a drop of water entering the sea, which would be easily absorbed and melted by the land of China.
- In fact, the demon commander had already understood this problem long before the plan was formulated, and because of this, he was slow to hold his troops still, but only used his might to intimidate the northern border towns of the Huaxia Dynasty, forcing some of them to surrender to the undetermined officers, and then became the vanguard of the Turkic attack on China...... And the benefits of this are obvious: if the puppet army can win undefeated, then of course it can stimulate the tribes on the grassland as much as possible to plunder the south, so as to reduce the resistance of the demon marshal's plan from all sides, and make the influence of the demon marshal on the grassland to a higher level.
And even if the puppet army is defeated, in fact, there is nothing remarkable, after all, although it is an elite general from the border of the Northland, but it is not from a tribe on the grassland after all, even if the whole army is wiped out in the battle, it will not pose any threat to the status and power of the Demon Shuai and the Demon Xiangzong on the grassland, plus being able to surrender to the Turks, they are just a group of undetermined speculators, and the Demon Shuai will definitely not believe them. Because of this, these surrendered northern border troops will be used as cannon fodder to open the way to the Central Plains in the south, if these armies can win a pity, but if they are defeated, lost and even annihilated, the demon commander will certainly regret it, however. But I will never frown at this!
Before you win, you lose first, the way to deal with the first problem is actually in the hands of the magic commander! However, the lack of understanding of the other two fatal flaws and the lack of adequate countermeasures is the unforgivable mistake of the Demon Shuai for himself and the Demon Sect of the sect.
The power of the Demon Gate has always been huge and complex, so not to mention that it is completely integrated into one, that is, it can gather one-third for its own use, and that person must be a genius who has not been born in the Demon Gate for thousands of years. However, in the generation of the demon handsome, looking at the demon gate, there were three amazing and brilliant people all of a sudden, the evil king, the queen of the yin and the demon handsome, and therefore, fierce infighting was inevitable.
The demon commander was defeated in this struggle at the beginning, so he had to lead his sect to Mobei, so as to avoid his own side of the power being completely annexed by the combination of the evil king and the queen of the underworld, but when it came decades later. After the evil king and the queen of the underworld who stayed in the Central Plains finally turned against each other and each had a lot of problems, the demon marshal who had gained a foothold in the steppe and gained the support of the Turks. But taking advantage of the chaos in the world, he made a comeback, from the bright side, the demon commander at this time is indeed very advantageous, so no matter the darkness of the early Ming Dynasty, there are countless forces in the demon gate who have taken refuge in him, however. Even so, in fact, the Demon Shuai has never been able to occupy an absolute advantage in this temporarily silent battle for the Demon Gate.
With the perseverance of the evil king and the determination of the queen of the yin, even if the demon marshal and the forces of the steppe Turks went south to absorb the forces of the demon gate. However, the power he can collect is only some peripheral forces of the Demon Gate, not to mention that it will not have the slightest impact on the descendants of the Evil King and the Queen of the Yin, even the other four major inheritances of the Demon Gate except for the Demon Phase, the Flower Room, the Heaven Filler, and the Yin Sect have not shown any eagerness or fear towards the strength shown by the Demon Shuai's arrival at this time.
You must know that in addition to the fact that An Long, the suzerain of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, is the evil king's sworn friend, so he will inevitably stand on the side of the evil king, whether it is the true inheritance of the Dao Ancestor, or the three sects of the Evil Extreme Sect and the Evil Sect of the Evil Sect, there is a lot of contradiction with the Evil King and the Queen of Yin, and the Evil Extreme Sect is just that, after all, after the death of the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian, due to the fierce infighting, the Evil Extreme Sect is not only scattered, but its power has declined significantly, and even to the point where it is not seen by some second-rate branches of the Demon Sect. Although there are no amazing and brilliant characters in this generation, but because there are the older generation of famous masters in charge of the house, although the power in its control has to be gradually eroded because of the strength of the evil king and the queen of the yin, but the main body must still exist, and therefore, if the strong appearance of the demon commander can really change the pattern of the demon gate, although the demon gate is full of intrigues, but think about it, whether it is the way of extinguishing love or the true inheritance of the Taoist ancestor, even the evil pole sect with scattered sand will not cherish the feathers too much, So as to show such a cold attitude towards the magic handsome.
There is only one reason, and that is that the old foxes of the previous generation of those shrewd demon sects are actually not optimistic about the demon handsome.
After all, although the Demon Shuai is known as shrewd and one of the characters who have not been born in the Demon Gate for hundreds of years, but in the past, he was easily defeated by the Evil King and the Queen of Yin, and the Evil King and the Queen of Yin at that time did not even put too much energy into the third genius of the Demon Gate, because for both sides, the opponent of the other party and the righteous side of the world is the opponent they need to pay attention to, and the Demon Shuai does not have the qualifications to compare with them.
Geniuses are always arrogant, and it is this kind of genius personality that makes geniuses often only identify with opponents who are on par with themselves, and unfortunately, from the very beginning, the Demon Shuai is not even recognized for entering their qualifications, and therefore, even when decades later, the Demon Shuai returns strongly with the Turkic forces, and the high-level leaders who occupy the dominant position of the Demon Gate, still do not think that the Demon Shuai at this time can grow to the qualification of being with the evil king or the queen of the Yin for a long time.
A lion who has shed his hair is also a lion, and an evil king who has gone crazy is also an evil king, even if he leaves his daughter as a flaw, but because of the flaw, it is more dangerous, especially in these years, although the evil king has been standing still. Almost never visible to men, yet his fame has not disappeared because of this, but, on the contrary, has almost become a myth in the darkness of a generation.
Moreover, the Evil King is not alone, and the three major Demon Gate branch forces firmly controlled by his hands, namely Huajian, Mending Heaven, and Tianlian, account for almost one-third of the power of the Demon Gate. Such a huge force, even if the Demon Shuai can completely win over the Dao of Extinction and form an alliance with the Dao Ancestor True Inheritance, it is still not enough.
It can be said that although the demon commander at this time seems to be strong, no matter which way you look at it, he is still far from being the opponent of the evil king, not to mention, among the demon gates at this time, there is also the leader of another force, the queen of yin, who is eyeing him from the side.
Compared to the powerful and feared evil king. As a woman, of course, the queen of yin who is also in the same situation is also inferior, however, she was also a strong person who was enough to crush the demon handsome in all aspects, and it is precisely because of the natural disadvantage of being a woman that the forces in the demon gate that are afraid of the evil king will take refuge in the queen of the yin one after another, so as to unite to resist the strength of the evil king.
It should be said that even when he is in charge of half of the power of all the demon sects except for the Demon Phase, the Flower Room, the Heaven Repair and the Heavenly Lotus Four Sects. The Queen of Yin is still not enough to fight against the evil king who only has one-third of the power of the Demon Gate, but at this time. The advantages of the queen of yin as a woman are once again reflected: the queen of yin, who was once famous all over the world because of her beauty, has many admirers in the rivers and lakes, and therefore, although she is disgusted with the selfish and extreme style of the demon gate, once the queen of yin is defeated by the evil king in the infighting of the demon gate, whether it is a generation of heavenly sword Song Que. Or Xie Hui, the overlord of Shuzhong, or even Ouyang Xiyi, the Yimin of Huangshan and other famous people in the rivers and lakes, will never hesitate to help, and because of this, the queen of yin can confront the evil king for many years with his wisdom and martial arts are not as good as the evil king. Split the Demon Gate in two.
And the return of the demon marshal, on the surface, has disrupted the inherent pattern of the demon gate in the past twenty years, but in fact, it has only weakened the power of the queen of the underworld, but it has basically no effect on the evil king - the evil king's methods, not only his enemies are frightened, but his direct subordinates, how can it not tremble, and the peripheral collateral betrayal is just that, the evil king will never take it to heart, but if there are the direct subordinates of the evil king who dare to betray the evil king, then who in the whole world can stop the evil king's killing intent, I'm afraid that even if the evil emperor is resurrected, the four holy monks may not be able to be useful!
Therefore, even if the demon marshal was planning to deal with the evil king together after pulling the yin from the beginning, his calculation could not be played from the beginning, not to mention, the demon marshal at that time had formed a lot of bonds with the yin queen early, and the yin queen's hatred for the demon marshal, I am afraid that during that period of time, it would surpass her old lover evil king Shi Zhixuan?
Therefore, even if the Queen of Yin will not join forces with the evil king to deal with the demon marshal, she will definitely do it when she sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, and then, she will take advantage of the fire to rob the demon marshal who is about to fail, so as to obtain the maximum benefit for her side......
So later, the defeat of the demon marshal in the layout of the demon gate was already doomed, not that he overestimated himself, but that he miscalculated the fierce situation of the infighting in the demon gate, and at the same time, because of the situation of the evil king and the queen of the yin, he underestimated his enemy......
ββThe strength of the Demon Gate is too huge, as the embodiment of the other side of the main body of Chinese civilization that originated in ancient times, the Demon Gate has extended its tentacles to almost every corner of the entire Chinese territory, so that countless people who live in a mediocre life have been reborn to die for nearly a hundred years in a hurry, but they may not even know that they are actually the grassroots of the periphery of the Demon Gate!
It is such a huge unimaginable force, although it cannot be quickly transformed into a powerful military force due to the constraints of various social factors, but it can play a great role in any other field such as intelligence, human geography, and so on, it can be said that the power to control one-third of the power of the Demon Gate may not necessarily be able to successfully seize the entire world, however, if there is a great unified dynasty that cannot control nearly one-third of the power of the Demon Gate, then there is no doubt that This so-called great unified dynasty is actually not worthy of the name!
- Therefore, only when you know more can you understand why around 1,500 years ago, the Sage Zhou Guild attached so much importance to the development of culture and civilization and its extension...... The civil war of the Demon Gate is essentially different from the military victory and defeat struggle, and there is another level of war about the humanistic spiritual level. (To be continued.) )
