Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Target
Hearing the specific situation that the three fronts facing Da Ye were currently in the confrontation stage, a sense of urgency rose in Yang Ze's heart.
Da Ye faces the flowing frost on both sides, the famous general wind blows the snow, and the Anhui Jin country is in the sugi letter. In the past, among the rumors in Shanglin City, the capital of Daye, the names of these two people were not unfamiliar, and on the list of famous generals of thousands of countries in Guishan Luzhou, both of them could be ranked in the top 100. There are such famous generals in neighboring powers, and there will always be friction and disputes, of course, in the capital of Shanglin City, it is particularly interesting for people to discuss.
Even some young people from the Jiangmen family, whose lifelong wish is to be able to compete with such a famous general one day.
In the peaceful Far Away from the scourge of war, in the prosperous and comfortable Shanglin City, such an idea is naturally impossible to realize, and now that the war between the two countries is really frightening, these famous generals who used to be on the banquet table of people in gorgeous clothes and food, or the famous generals who talked among the neighbors in the streets and alleys of the tea shop in the market, will become the focus and key to deciding the fate of the enemy country and their own country!
In Daye's military system, once war. The feudal nobles will also be called up to fight in battle, and the feudal nobles can bring up to 1,000 private soldiers to join the battlefield, and the marquis will automatically be converted into military positions and hold various important positions. Yang Ze's previous Qichun Marquis Mansion was such a feudal nobleman. In the face of this kind of nationwide war, Qi Chunhou will naturally devote himself to it, but Yang Ze does not know which army Qi Chunhou is now incorporated into, it is in the eastern stone city that blocked the invasion of the Flowing Frost Country, under the command of Qi Leyi, the right general of Da Ye. Or is it the Yellow Lake Fortress in the west against the Anhui Iron Cavalry, under the command of General Wang Zhao of Zuo, or the Baishi Strait that is resisting the attack of the Kashima Kingdom?
Even if Yang Ze asked these displaced people from the Shen Kingdom, they didn't know anything.
This made Yang Ze fall into urgency. According to his "memory" of the year, the country of Daye was later destroyed, that is, under the invasion of foreign enemies, the two generals of Daye and left and right finally committed treason because of the bitterness between the past and the fierce domestic struggle, which led to the complete fall of Daye, and the entire country was annihilated by terrible forces. The Daye Kingdom, which has been established for more than 300 years, was epicly annihilated in Guishan Luzhou, becoming one of the gorgeous waves of the great era.
And now, Yang Ze has gone through two years since he left Daye's exile in Dihai.
The experience brought to him in two years is undoubtedly incomparably huge. He experienced the story of the earth sea fleeing for his life from the fierce beasts, experienced the journey of fighting for fame and fortune in the earth and the sea, and finally entered the legendary "land of green ruins" in this continent for generations, entered the twelve floating mountains of the heavenly ruins, and unconsciously obtained the inheritance of the Qingtian River, and returned to the mainland with 3,000 nirvana.
And just when his own destiny is completely subverting and changing, the outside world is also changing at an unimaginable speed.
The war that Yang Ze was going to change finally broke out without changing!
This almost made Yang Ze have a terrible question about whether "history" can still be changed. He was almost unscrupulous in this world, but what he was afraid of was the figure who had been cooking medicine in that small courtyard, and it would be a different place. What he fears is that his two eldest brothers will fall forever in this era before they have made great achievements. What he was afraid of was the picture of being slaughtered by countless soldiers and armor outside the gate of the Qichun Marquis Mansion. What he was afraid of was the fact that countless friends in Shanglin City, including Dong Xuan, including Qi Jianlin, including Wang Zheng, the son of Wang Zhao, and so on, had festivals or were relieved, and those moonlit nights and traffic-like scenes in Shanglin City were tragically destroyed in the face of great disasters.
Because I was afraid, I couldn't let this happen
Yang Ze quickly calmed down, knowing that in all this situation, the worst side had not yet happened.
In the memory of his previous life, because of the feud between the left and right generals, there was a change in the battle. But today's situation has changed because Yang Ze moved the hand of history. His efforts have subtly changed history, and the assassination on the Long Street that he had prevented in Shanglin City two years earlier had kept Daye's situation out of control.
In the narrow view of this war, the Frost Country, the Anhui Gold Country, and even the Kashima Country have been enemies for many years, and irreconcilable contradictions have erupted.
And now Yang Ze has known from what happened here in Qishan County that the ultimate factor that led to this war was the result of the Orthodox Church's eastward expansion plan of the Tang Empire for hundreds of years, which was once again hindered.
The Orthodox Church has always wanted to spread the brilliance of the Holy Spirit to the Tang Empire, which has always rejected foreign teachings, but has not succeeded. Driven by the collision of incompatible currents of thought, this eventually turned into a feud that lasted for centuries.
After the new generation of Orthodox Patriarch Yin Guang ** came to power, he spent nearly 30 years planning and brewing the fourth eastward expansion plan, and finally launched.
In the midst of this fourth eastward expansion of the Orthodox Church, the Orthodox Christians who were hidden throughout the Tang Empire began to spread their teachings with fanatical beliefs, and even set off a huge doctrinal change within the Tang Empire. In a way unimaginable to others, they proclaimed the existence of the Holy Spirit, the greatness of Orthodox doctrine and the protection of the Holy Spirit.
This Fourth Eastward Expedition launched by the Orthodox Church is known as the "Manifestation of the Holy Spirit" project. The Orthodox Christians of the entire Tang Empire presented all the sects that existed within the empire with a shocking missionary movement that could be written into the textbooks of religious history.
For example, on the long street, some people cut their own flesh in front of the public to feed the birds, bleeding all over but not changing the color, indicating the blessing of the Orthodox Holy Spirit. There are also Orthodox Christians who hang their bodies with iron hooks and light a thousand lamps, and sit still for a day and a night, proclaiming to the people the return of the Holy Spirit to the saints. It almost caused a wave of frenzy among the whole people.
The Tang Empire fought back at the first moment when the situation deteriorated. A vigorous "extermination operation" was carried out, and for a time, the Orthodox churches of the whole country were purged and burned, the believers in the capital Shengjing were slaughtered in one night, and a large area of Orthodox Christians was expelled from the territory of the empire.
Beyond the borders of the Empire, countless waves of refugees poured out, and swarms of ants spread across the land. Most of these were Orthodox Christians in the empire, and even believers who were willing to follow them. He was driven out of the empire and had to take refuge in the Holy Land of the Orthodox West. It was a tragic migration that cut off the undesirable refugees from starvation and bones along the way because of a lack of food or the fear of offending the empire by helping the faithful.
It was the anger of the Orthodox Church that launched this war of revenge against the weakness of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the Orthodox Church was pinched very well in time, and it was during the period when the Tang Empire pacified the believers in the empire, so that it had no time to take care of Daye, and instigated the Three Kingdoms to launch a thunderous blow against Daye. The target is naturally the third princess of the imperial emperor, Queen Zhen Yuan of the Great Ye Kingdom
Now for Yang Ze, of course, the goal is not to save any queen, but his own family and country.
Yang Ze already understood the situation on the two fronts, but the water division troops of the Kashima Country, one of which was familiar with the name, made Yang Ze a little surprised, "Nie Fengbei?"
The old man of the Shen Kingdom used to be the retainer of his own marquis, and he was well-informed, and he was grateful for Yang Ze's kindness, and he knew everything about him, "I don't know if Your Excellency has heard of Nie Fengbei, a giant who deals in black market resources in the Far Eastern Earth Sea World, but his real identity is the Archdeacon of Kashima Shinto Zhai, who is the mentor of the previous generation of Zhai Lords, and strictly speaking, the junior disciple of the current Zhai Lord Lei Donglai. He has been active in the Earthsea and is responsible for dredging the resources of the Earthsea to the Kashima Country. He is the spokesperson of Lei Donglai in the earthly sea world. Shinto Sai has a very high status within Kashima Country, and Lei Donglai is even more of a national teacher. In this war between Kashima Province and Daye, the practitioners of Shinto Zhai will naturally take on an important task in it. And Lei Donglai's personal disciple Li Qiucheng, who was assassinated in Dihai half a year ago, although his life was saved in the end, but in order to restore his cultivation, Lei Donglai took him to retreat and cultivate, and this retreat was half a year. This war against Da Ye was launched, and it was naturally handed over to Nie Fengbei to preside. ”
Damn! Yang Ze secretly cursed, Lei Donglai was really not in vain, Li Qiucheng was pierced through the sea of qi with his own demon pestle, and he was able to save his life from dying! And Nie Fengbei actually became the commander of the Shinto Zhai fleet that attacked the Great Ye Kingdom.
The old man of Shen Guo paused, and then continued, "However, recently, Lei Donglai, the master of Shinto Zhai, has been rumored to have been out of the customs, and his personal disciple Li Qiucheng's strength has not plummeted, but he has opened up the fourth qi sea with supreme techniques, and his cultivation has been promoted to the Tianxuan realm. This situation was unheard of, and almost shocked the surrounding sects. Lei Donglai recently spread the good news that he was going to hold a cherry blossom festival on top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and invited Master Ye Hanzang, who was under house arrest, to give a lecture in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. All parties to the feast, and many surrounding countries and sectarian forces received his prayers. ”
"What?" Yang Ze tried to suppress the shock in his heart caused by the news, mixed with a certain sourness and surprise.
The sour meaning is because Li Qiucheng was not killed by himself, or his cultivation fell sharply. actually crossed the critical threshold and was promoted to the Tianxuan realm. You must know that he himself has not yet reached the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and the key is that the other party is still his invincible enemy. This kind of jealousy, which originated from cultivators, gave Yang Ze some sour feelings, and finally understood why some people would have a complex state of envy, jealousy and hatred when they saw those who had cultivated extremely high at a young age.
The surprise was because I learned about Hanzo Daishi. knew that he was really fine now, but he was placed under house arrest by Lei Donglai in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Shinto Zhai. However, this Hanzo master, who was extremely influential to Da Ye, is still alive, which is excellent news.
I don't know when, the old man of the Yuan God in Yang Ze's Mud Pill Palace has already woken up, and said in a deep voice, "My homeland is facing a crisis on three fronts, that is to say, the catastrophe of the previous life, has finally come, boy, Lei Dong is here to hold a cherry blossom event, do you know what you mean?"
Yang Ze's eyes narrowed very thinly, and said, "Lei Donglai's move has at least three meanings: the first is to send messages to the forces of the surrounding countries during the war between the Kadao country and Daye, inviting all the heroes to participate in his grand event, thus isolating the Daye country in terms of momentum and making Daye fall into a situation of fighting alone. The second is to take this opportunity to publicize that his future successor, Li Qiucheng, will stand at the forefront of the top young generation in the mainland, and at Li Qiucheng's age, he will be promoted to the Tianxuan realm at such a young age, which is enough to become sensational news. It can be known that under the shock of the surrounding countries, Li Qiucheng will inevitably be among the silver list of young cultivators in the mainland."
The old man of the Yuan Shen couldn't help nodding, and gave Yang Ze a "look" again: "Hehe, although you are now a second-grade Dixuan, an idle Tianxuan Realm cultivator may not be your opponent." And with the true inheritance of the infinite growth space like Tianxu, the improvement of cultivation is only a thin line. Sooner or later, you will also become a high-profile young powerhouse on this continent. ”
Yang Ze continued in Zhihai, "The third meaning is to use this to hit the morale and people's hearts of the Daye Kingdom! This hand can not be described as not vicious, and the sages of the Daye Kingdom have a cloud: the terrain of Daye is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and where the people want, the battle is invincible." Those who destroy Daye are the only ones who have hearts. This is a classic book of Da Ye, written by Yang Wanli, Marquis of Qichun 130 years ago. Since Yang Ze came to this world, he reviewed the classics, intending to understand the general situation of this world, so he naturally turned these books into familiar places.
In the history of the Great Ye Kingdom, it has been repeatedly invaded by strong enemies, but all of them ended in final victory, which has also cultivated the extremely powerful territorial defense capabilities of the Great Ye Kingdom. Daye Guoguang is about the art of war for defending the city, and there are several huge systems that are effective. Coupled with Daye's natural risk, it is to win more with less.
But the most important thing in defense is not the external fortifications, sharp weapons, or the number of soldiers. What really matters is the morale of the people. This is a truth that the sages of Daye had foreseen hundreds of years ago. Because of this, in the face of the Daye State, which has a strong defense capability, the Orthodox Church will think of provoking the two generals on the left and right of Daye, and provoking internal contradictions in Daye. When the people's hearts are disordered within Daye, the political situation has changed greatly, the internal contradictions are fierce, and the morale of the generals is low, it means that the destruction of Daye has come.
In fact, a large part of the demise of a country does not depend on the strength of external enemies, but often begins with internal collapse.
"Very good!" the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then his spirit was revealed, "Then what are your plans next!?"
"Feed the war with war. Yang Ze paused, "Since Lei Donglai is going to set up a cherry blossom festival and gather all the heroes to participate in Master Hanzang's lecture and recitation, intending to hold this event with some international influence, then let's stir up Lei Donglai's event, and then save Master Hanzang safe and sound."
Yang Ze's heart suddenly gave birth to a breath of oily spirit, "Little Master's three thousand nirvana skills, I only comprehend the meaning of the first three phases, and there are still many wonderful realms that I can't understand. It can be said that I have only obtained the "road" beyond the ten thousand laws, but there are still 108,000 miles away from the other side. Only a battle that truly puts life and death aside can get close to the mountain that climbs to the top. Only in the practice of pushing oneself to the limit can one continue to surpass the limit and climb higher and higher. ”
"This war between the Three Kingdoms and Daye is a unique experience. Except for any one time, it is impossible to have such a large number of masters to help their martial arts cultivation. Just came out of the Tianxu Mountain, and encountered such a good thing, it couldn't be cheaper. This is the first step in the battle to nourish the war, and let Lei Donglai Shinto Zhai be our first target!"
Yang Ze came back to his senses, faced Luo Xiong, the lord of the county, and said, "Now apart from you, there is still some place for the foreign material assistance of the Great Ye Kingdom. ”
Luo Xiong obviously hesitated for a moment, pulled Yang Ze over, and said in a low voice, "Under the current situation, this should be a top secret that people who understand must strictly abide by, but since His Holiness asked, it is not a secret, in addition to our Qishan County, what I know, there are several big chambers of commerce, and even princely clansmen are also doing these things." ”
These materials for making elixirs and runes are strategic materials that all parties are eager to obtain in wartime. The elixir can restore the cultivator's strength at high speed in wartime, and even heal injuries, which can make these powerful combat forces enter the battle faster. And runes, spirit weapons, not to mention, are a large number of consumables on the battlefield.
Now that the three fronts on Daye's side are encircled, they rely even more heavily on these materials, which is directly related to the question of whether this war can afford to consume. The consumption of these materials produced by Daye itself is drastic, and if there is no external channel, the consumption of national strength will inevitably be even faster. Yang Ze knew this, and the Orthodox Sect, the Anhui Jin Country, the Flowing Frost Country, and the Deer Island Country naturally knew this, so they blocked the external resource access of Daye at all costs.
It was these refugees who were the princes of Shen who were subjected to such a bloody purge by the Orthodox Church.
Yang Ze faced Luo Xiong, the county lord of Qishan, and his gaze seemed to pierce directly into the depths of his eyes, and said, "Are you ready to be an enemy of the Orthodox Sect?"
Luo Xiong, and even a cadre of elders in the Spirit Plantation Field, immediately brushed and brushed "Wow!" and half-knelt on the ground, and the surrounding martial artists also knelt down at the same time to show their determination.
"Qishan County has ancestral teachings and does not participate in all the disputes for fame and fortune and the forces of all parties. But now, our farms are facing destruction, and the inheritance of our ancestors is being coveted. We will never compromise on all levels of Qishan County! Now we have taken a step from which there is absolutely no way back. Isn't His Holiness still willing to trust us!?" Luo Xiong's eyes welled up in tears, and he said earnestly, "Up and down Qishan County, from now on, but listen to His Holiness's orders!"
Yang Ze nodded, "Since that's the case! Then from today onwards, the Orthodox Church will be our invincible enemy! You all know the feud between me and the Orthodox Sect, I have been in retreat until now, and I have been reborn, but this does not mean that the person will come nonsense. That can only lead to failure. I believe everyone knows how powerful the Orthodox Church is, and to fight against the Orthodox Church, we need to cultivate our own power. The enemy of the enemy is our friend, and now our strength is too weak, and only by cultivating our own strength as much as possible can we one day fight against the Orthodox Church! Luo Xiong, can you make those big chambers of commerce, and even the princely clansmen, stand on our side?"
Luo Xiong said, "Venerable Mingjian, the truth is not hidden, the violent rule of the Great Yue Sect here has already made many parties dissatisfied, but because of the Orthodox Sect behind it, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak, if the identity of the Venerable Reborn is to envelop them, with the prestige of the Venerable back then, I believe that most of them will also be attached, but they will inevitably be affected by the defeat of the Venerable to the Orthodox Sect Sect Master back then, so that no matter how will they leave a way back for themselves." Therefore, if you want them to belong to the Venerable Sect, the most important thing is to let them know that the Venerable Divine Skill has been accomplished, and this time out of the mountain is enough to defeat the Orthodox Sect Patriarch Yin Guang ** King!"
Yang Ze thought to himself, this is probably also your voice and hesitation.
While they were discussing, someone suddenly covered in blood stumbled to the front, "The owner of the field is not good, we imprisoned the archdeacon according to your order, but I didn't expect him to be a hidden cultivator, suddenly broke out and killed our four brothers, and he has already betrayed the castle!"
This news immediately caused the entire spirit planting field to explode, and at the same time fell into a huge panic.
The archdeacon is a hidden cultivator who has defected from Qishan, so it is impossible to say that soon, the strong army of the Great Yue Sect will follow! The ridiculous thing is that Qishan County has just broken out, and it may be suppressed immediately.
Yang Ze thought that this was the right time, and he would do it to the end, he was now completely engaged in his "soulless" identity, and smiled contemptuously, "It's just right to let him go, it seems that he should find the location of the Great Said Sect, since this is the case, then from today onwards, let the Great Said Sect be removed from the territory of Changlu Country!"
Yang Ze poked his fingers at the boo, and in the midst of the earth-shattering roar, the completely well-fed Fierce God Dao Venerable rose to the sky. The clouds were eclipsed by the spread of its tremendous spiritual pressure.
Seeing this, Luo Xiong hurriedly said to Yang Ze, "Venerable, be careful, don't underestimate the enemy, today's Orthodox Sect is completely different from more than ten years ago! Not to mention that Ao Chong and Ku Luo are well-known masters, the great sect leader Yu Li is the outstanding master appointed by the Yinguang ** King, and his strength is not as good as the Yinguang ** King back then, it is not much different!"
Luo Xiong said at this time, not only him, but the entire Spirit Plantation Field, but also worried about Yang Ze, the Soul Venerable. As we all know, it is very difficult to cultivate "Return to the Light**", if it is said that the soul is lost in the year, it takes more than ten years to understand it, it is too far-fetched. If he has not yet attained great success, then in the face of Yuli, whose cultivation is already infinitely close to the seal light of the year, the Soul Light Venerable has passed this time, if he underestimates the enemy, I am afraid that there will be no return.
Then their Qishan County has just decided to rebel against the Orthodox Sect's Yinwei, which can only be a joke. If the Soul Venerable is defeated, they Qishan County will prepare to pack their bags, and everyone will go to the ends of the earth, and flee as far as they can!
In the eyes of everyone, the "Soul Venerable" waved his hand, rode on the Dao Venerable who descended from the sky, revealed an unfathomable smile, and cut through the sky.
This unfathomable smile, together with Qishan County, was called "miraculous smile" by the iconic surname in the accounts of later generations of experts and historians who were full of flowers!
