Wang Tong and the others looked at Li Yizhi puzzled, and they were anxious as subordinates.

If you Li Yizhi don't become the emperor, the positions and titles of our people can't be raised!

Seeing this, Li Yizhi had no choice but to pretend to explain: "Everyone, now that we are confronting Li Tang and them, it is difficult to tell the result in a short time, so I am ready to break the situation in Bashu, which can effectively avoid heavy casualties." ”

Li Jing instantly understood Li Yizhi's plan, in fact, he also thought about it, so he said: "What Guogong means is to prepare to use the righteousness of the Sui Dynasty to force Bashu to surrender, and then take the road from Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong?" ”

Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Not bad." Although the Sui Dynasty has existed in name only, it still has a lot of influence on the people of the world, and Li Tang still respects Yang Yu as the emperor. If we can force Bashu to surrender, then we can force Li Tang to divide his forces and retreat to Guanzhong, so that their forces will be scattered. ”

Shen Luoyan looked at Li Yizhi, although she felt that Li Yizhi's explanation was very reluctant, but as a good subordinate, she still helped to lie.

So, she said with a smile: "Guogong's plan is very good, once Li Tang transfers troops back to Guanzhong, then we can break through on the eastern front and defeat Dou Jiande." At that time, Li Tang will be surrounded on three sides, dominate the world, and be unstoppable. ”

Everyone present was not stupid, and when they saw that Li Yizhi didn't seem to be in a hurry to become emperor, they had no choice but to press their minds and agree with the plan.

Li Yizhi said: "Regarding the matter of forcing Bashu to surrender, I will personally come forward to persuade Duzun Fort. As long as you can convince Duzun Fort, Bashu can be pacified. However, just in case, Qin Shibao led an army of 100,000 into Yiling to deter by force, and at the same time, he could also take over Bashu in the future. ”

Yiling is today's Yichang, which is the only place to enter Bashu, located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou.

Luo Tong was stationed in Jingzhou, and he also had 100,000 troops, and if you added Qin Shibao's 100,000, it would be nearly 200,000 troops.

I believe that with such a large army pressing the border, the forces of all parties in Bashu will know how to choose.

After the matter was discussed, Li Yizhi left Xuchang on the second day.

In the following days, the night battle of the Jingnian Monastery also quickly spread all over the world, and countless people were shaken.

Not only was Song Que promoted to the rank of Grand Master, but Li Yizhi also defeated Ning Daoqi and Bi Xuan in a row and became the number one master in the world.

Of course, for the righteous sects, the most shocking thing is that Cihang Jingzhai is about to be dissolved.

You must know that for more than 100 years, Tzuhang Jingzhai has been the leader of the various sects of the righteous path.

It is unbelievable that such a high-ranking sect is about to collapse with a bang.

On the third day of Li Yizhi's departure, Wang Shichong sent an envoy to Xuchang and sent a table of surrender.

Wang Tong, Li Jing and others were pleasantly surprised, Wang Shichong's surrender meant that the alliance between Li Tang and other parties was torn out of a big hole.

After learning of this, Li Yuan and Dou Jiande were naturally shocked and angry.

But fortunately, at this time, good news came from the Turks, and Jieli Khan expressed his willingness to support them against Li Yizhi.

Not only did they each aid 50,000 war horses, but they also sent 20,000 elite cavalry to support.

It can be said that this time Jieli Khan has made a bloody investment.

There was no way, who let Bi Xuan escape back to the grassland, which made Jieli Khan extremely frightened, for fear that Li Yizhi would unify the Central Plains and attack the grassland.

Because since ancient times, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was at the peak of its founding, it would send troops to attack the grassland.

Whether it is the Sui Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty, or even the earlier Qin Dynasty.

With the support of the Turks, the alliance between Li Tang and Dou Jiande and others became even stronger.

Li Jing originally felt that Wang Shichong's surrender was still a very good opportunity for a breakthrough, but now he could only continue to confront each other and wait for the result of Bashu.

Originally, they were going to move the capital to Luoyang, but they couldn't contact Li Yizhi, so they could only give up for the time being.

…………

After Li Yizhi left Xuchang, he traveled west and soon came to the Yangtze River.

He entered Shu this time to prepare to go up the river along the river.

When passing through a big mountain, a beautiful sound of flute came from the top of the mountain, like a sound from outside the sky, ethereal like a cloud, gathering and scattering.

"Hey, this is Shi Qingxuan's Xiao Yin!"

Li Yizhi stopped and listened intently.

He felt that his soul was out of his body, floating in the clouds, unrestrained and free.

After a long time, the sound of the flute gradually stopped.

Li Yizhi slowly opened his eyes, and he looked at the top of the mountain, where the trees were lush and green, and there seemed to be a temple, faintly hidden in it.

"Then, it shouldn't be the Evil Emperor Temple."

Li Yizhi's heart suddenly moved, although the specific location of the Evil Emperor Temple was not explained in the original book, but it was probably on the north bank of the Yangtze River, near Liyang.

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi walked towards the mountain.

Anyway, I am not in a hurry to go to Bashu for the next day or two, but Shi Qingxuan's flute sound is not something that can be heard at any time.

The mountain road is narrow, and all the way is densely covered with thick nan trees, and there are mountain streams that flow gently.

Along the mountain road, Li Yiyi Road goes deep into the mountain forest, with viewing pavilions and waterfalls.

Finally, through a dense forest, I came to an ancient temple with hundreds of stone steps.

The ancient temple had no name, the courtyard walls were broken, and the weeds were overgrown, apparently abandoned for a long time.

In the dimly lit mountain forest, it looks a little eerie.

Climb the stone steps and step over the temple gate, where candlelight burns.

Li Yizhi saw a woman with long hair hanging down her waist, with her back to him, kneeling on the futon in front of the Bodhisattva statue, holding a blue bamboo flute in her hand.

Judging from the back, the lines of Shi Qingxuan's back are beautiful and graceful, and her hair is black and soft, giving people a feeling of being out of the dust.

It's a pity that I can't see her face, and I don't know what kind of demeanor this strange woman in the Tang world is.

Li Yi was regretting in his heart, so he heard Shi Qingxuan say in that Qingyue sweet voice: "This son, this is not the place you should come, please leave quickly, and there will be wicked people coming." ”

Li Yizhi sighed, and laughed softly: "I am a good person, and the last thing I am afraid of is the wicked." ”

"Poof!"

Shi Qingxuan chuckled, the laughter was like the chirping of a lark, melodious, making people feel that the gloomy atmosphere around here had all disappeared in an instant.

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and a hint of anxiety, and she said angrily: "You person, I obviously persuaded you with good intentions, but you teased me." I really didn't lie to you, they're almost there, and if you don't leave, it's too late. ”

Li Yizhi's 'god' was powerful, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he had actually felt that there were four powerful qi machines rushing towards the mountain.

At this time, the four qi engines were already not far from the Evil Emperor Temple, three before and one behind.

These four people are naturally the four disciples of the evil emperor Xiang Yutian, namely the 'perverse act' You Niaoti, the 'Great Emperor' Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laosi, and the 'Mei Niangzi' Jin Huanzhen.

The purpose of their trip was to seize the relics of the Evil Emperor from Shi Qingxuan.

Of course, this was what they thought they were, and they didn't know that the Evil Emperor Relic was stored in the Yang Gong's treasure house.

Li Yizhi smiled slightly: "It's okay, I also want to see how evil the wicked person you are talking about." ”

Shi Qingxuan wanted to persuade again, and a magic sound came from outside the temple.

At first, the sound was like a baby's cry, and then it turned into a woman's scream.

It seems to be outside the temple, like a ghost chirping, and it seems to be ringing in the ears, like a ghost laughing.

People can't help it, and there are many illusions in front of them.
