The Soga family was eradicated, causing a great loss of power to Emperor Suiko, and Iga Jingu took the opportunity to infiltrate the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info then a series of decrees to promote sinicization were promulgated.。

Forehead Hide's power rose sharply, and he took the opportunity to implement reforms in Iga Jingu; claimed that Amaterasu had once incarnated as a Central Plains person and worshipped under the name of Confucius, a sage of Confucianism and Taoism; Iga Jingu is only a branch of Confucianism; This time it can be regarded as a return to the ancestors; It is the beginning of the worship of the Holy Prophet; And called on the whole Dongying people to learn the culture of the Central Plains.

After this set was implemented, it took nearly two months; Cheng Zhijie and others finally took a turn in Dongying. Seeing that everything was moving forward steadily, Lao Cheng asked Qin Qiong and others to return to Shandong one after another, and in the end, only Zhang Ding's navy was left in Dongying, as well as Dongfang Bai, Fan Hu, and Lian Ming.

After another half a month, Dongying's affairs have been on the right track, and Cheng Zhijie led people and Zhang Ding to say goodbye. This time, not only did he take away a large number of troops, but even Wang Erya was transferred back; Of course, there are also international students led by the prince of the stable, under the pretext of learning the advanced culture of the Han nationality and better benefiting the township.

No one believed that these people would be able to come back once they went, that is, the princes of the stables were ready to never set foot in their homeland.

"Big brother, Dongying will be handed over to you! In addition, your navy has to work hard to put pressure on Goguryeo and Baekje to prevent them from causing trouble behind my back. We must also be ready at any time to make preparations for landing operations in Jianghuai, so that Li Mi and Du Fuwei cannot attack us with all their might. ”

Zhang Ding nodded and said, "Zhijie rest assured, I know how to do it." At this time, the strength of the navy has grown, and we can fully support multi-channel operations. In addition, those guys in the Central Plains are short-sighted and have no naval strength at all. The entire coast is not yet under our control; Where to land now, just where to land? ”

Cheng Zhijie said goodbye to Zhang Ding and returned to Shandong by boat. At this time, Shandong was still quiet, which made his heart a little relieved.

During this period of time, there will be storms in Leshou City, and the busiest of them is the Taoju Inn. The prosperity of Taoju Inn is well-known in the world, and rich and powerful people like to live here when they go out; Of course, these ambassadors are no exception.

Now Zhang Liang and Jia Runpu of the Great Demon Kingdom have come here to bring them; Jia Runpu is good at dancing with long sleeves, and arranges the food and accommodation of all forces in an orderly manner; Zhang Liang pretended to be a talented man and waited for the master in the inn; Wander between forces.

I don't know the details of this, but this is really a lot of bluffed by him; Many cited him as a confidant. In particular, Li Tang's envoy Pei Lin is even more Mr. Zhang; Discuss with him every day about the alliance's attack on the Great Demon Kingdom.

"Sir, Wagang Li Mi wants us to join forces with them and jointly send troops to attack the Great Demon Kingdom from Caozhou; Dou Jiande also wants us to send troops to Hebei and act from the north? Do you think it's better for us Datang to participate in that offensive army along the way? ”

Zhang Liang pretended to be deep and said: "May I ask Master Pei, Datang and Wagang are familiar with each other?" Pei Lin said: "Li Miwei was in the Central Plains, and his army was hundreds of thousands, and it was really better to say that Wagang was more powerful. ”

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and asked, "Then does Gong Li want to be a cow queen?" Pei Lin shook his head slightly and said, "According to what Mr. means, let us promise Dou Jiande?" ”

Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled: "Definitely! Although Li Mi is strong, I think he will fail this time. If the Tang lord can take advantage of the situation to collect all his troops, he will definitely become the strongest prince in the world; The battle for the world is just around the corner. ”

Pei Lin frowned slightly and said, "Li Mi has hundreds of thousands of horses in his hands, how does Mr. know that he will definitely be defeated?" Please also explain. ”

Zhang Liang said: "Li Mi is a thief! When it is in its prime, the world can not compete with it. His subordinates have brought together so many family teams as Jianghuai Du Fuwei, Fengyang Li Zitong, and Nanyang Zhu Can; It seems that the soldiers and horses are strong, but in fact, there are great worries.

First of all, the contradiction between Du Fuwei and Li Zitong is very deep; They once fought against each other, and Li Zitong almost killed Du Fuwei.

Secondly, Wagang seems to be strong, but in fact, it has the biggest worries. Externally, his hinterland also has Wang Shichong in Luoyang; Although this is a period of time; Wang Shichong was so pressed by Li Mi that he couldn't raise his head; But it has always threatened the safety of Wagang.

And inside Wagang, Li Mi's killing of Zhai Rang was a big failure. This made there many factions within Wagang, and now Li Mi is in full swing, and there is nothing to do; Once defeated, it will inevitably fall apart.

I've also heard that Li Mi is very different now than before; He was proud and complacent, no longer sympathetic to the soldiers, had no savings in the treasury, and even after winning the battle, Li Mi did not distribute the spoils to the soldiers, which made the generals of the Wagang Army alienated. Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiyun and others persuaded each other several times, but were alienated by Li Mi; On the contrary, Li Mi obeyed the mantra of Bing Yuan, who was greedy for money.

When the time comes to the decisive battle with the Great Demon Kingdom, as long as the Tang Lord delays a little, Li Mi will definitely die without a place to die; Aren't all the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command belong to the Tang Lord? ”

Pei Lin slapped the table and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years; I will reply to my lord and ask him to send troops to join forces with Li Mi. Speaking of this, Pei Lin hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Liang hurriedly sent him out to see that he was far away; He let out a long sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Humph! Good for you, Zhang Liang, what a clever tongue! You are going to destroy our Wagang foundation; Do you really think that there is no one in Wagang? ”

The hairs on Zhang Liang's frightened body stood on end, and the sweat flowed down; Hurriedly grabbed the dagger in his arms and shouted: "Who?" He turned his body suddenly.

Behind him stood a young general, unarmoured; Instead, it was a cloth robe; If it weren't for the sword in his waist, everyone would have thought he was a learned and Confucian student.

Zhang Liang let out a long breath, and hurriedly arched to the ground: "Zhang Liang see General Xu." "Standing in front of him is the Wagang general Xu Shiji, Xu Maogong.

"Zhang Liang, I didn't see that you still have such ability, a few words will make our two-way army fall apart all the way, and our strength will be greatly damaged all the way."

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "My ability is not seen through by General Xu at a glance. I heard that General Xu and our demon king are friends for eight worships; Please also be merciful; Don't debunk it underneath. ”

Xu Shiji sighed and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have been transferred to Liyang by the King of Western Wei to garrison, and Wagang's dispatch of troops this time has nothing to do with me." ”

"Ahh Zhang Liang exclaimed: "This Li Mi is looking for death by himself, and he actually cut off his siblings." His mind was racing: "I have long heard that Li Mi is estranged from his subordinates, especially Zhai Rang's old ministers, who are even more killed and degraded; I didn't expect that even Xu Shiji was implicated. ”

"What does General Xu think of our Demon King Chitose? He has always admired General Xu's great talent; sighed for a long time and failed to conspire with the general. If the general is not having a good time in Wagang, why not come to our Great Demon Kingdom. ”

"Your demon king is too Pilai, and he is too righteous and angry; Not material for being a monarch; But being friends is the best; You follow him and do it well; There will be no loss! Alas! Xu Shiji let out a long sigh and turned to leave. Zhang Liang looked at the back of the old boss and was excited.

Pei Lian's opinion was transmitted back to Chang'an; was valued by Li Yuan; He immediately gathered all his henchmen and prepared to hear their opinions. During this period of time, Li Shimin participated in this kind of meeting for the first time, because the eldest grandson Wujian had just given birth to his eldest son in the Chengqian Palace.

Li Yuan was very happy when he heard the letter, and he wanted to bridge the rift with his son; He personally went to the Qin Palace, congratulated, and gave the name Li Chengqian. As soon as this name came out, it really made Li Jiancheng and them nervous again, and the rift between the brothers deepened.

Li Shimin was frightened when he heard that Li Yuan was going to send troops to attack the Great Demon Kingdom, and said: "Father, we and the Great Demon Kingdom are friends, so why should we do something to attack?" Now our priority is to deal with Xue Rengao, Li Rail, Liu Wuzhou, and Liang Shidu; This requires the four anti-kings to be pacified; We have no worries, we can sit and watch the Central Plains War until they are tired; And then flatten them in one fell swoop. ”

Li Yuan explained: "The emperor may not know; From where did the news come from Dou Jiande, the king of Xia; The Great Demon Kingdom has already pacified Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom. Even Jieli's hundreds of thousands of troops were no match for them. This kind of combat effectiveness has already topped the world, and sooner or later we will have a battle, and it is good to weaken their strength a little. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "My father's idea is good; But the Great Demon Kingdom is close to us; If the Great Demon Kingdom is destroyed, Wagang and Xia Kingdom will benefit; Wouldn't it be a hundred harms and no benefits to us? ”

Li Yuan said: "What you said also makes sense, so I asked Pei Lin to go to Xia Kingdom to discuss; This time he met a great talent; Gave him an idea. In this way, we can not only destroy the Great Demon Kingdom, but also take advantage of it; What do you think? ”

He said Pei Lian's opinion again, and Li Shimin frowned when he heard it, and secretly exclaimed: "That's not right! We will have some benefits if this strategy is implemented, but the biggest benefit is the Great Demon Kingdom! ”

Thinking of this, he no longer objected, and listened to their discussion silently. Li Yuanji hated Cheng Zhijie to the core, and clamored to teach the Great Demon Kingdom a lesson.

Li Shimin knew that this guy had gone, first, he would definitely hit the Great Demon Kingdom and rush violently, and second, he didn't know what Corporal Lixian was; It must be that he has offended the Great Demon Kingdom and will not gain any benefits.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said: "Father, the sons and sons have friendships with several generals in Wagang, please ask your father to allow your sons to go, and you will definitely be able to recover the generals in Wagang." ”

Li Yuan nodded secretly when he heard this, he was not very relieved about this third son, Li Shimin was just right. Thinking of this, he was about to make an order and ordered Li Shimin to lead the army and set off; Li Jiancheng shouted: "Wait! Then he stood up.
