"Poor Dao Guozhen, meet King Xia!"

A middle-aged Taoist priest with a strange appearance and a fairy wind and bones, knelt there respectfully, kowtowed to Ye Ke, and threw his body to the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was a month after the First Battle of Hangu Pass.

Guozhen, a Taoist of the Louguan School, has a noble status, although he is not very old, about forty years old, but even before Qihui's death, he was very polite to him.

Without him, this person is righteous, knows the scriptures, and is famous in the Taoist sect.

But at this moment, he appeared in the Xia Palace, kneeling in front of Ye Ke, where is there any immortal wind and master style?

Ye Ke fought a battle, killed the four grandmasters of Lou Guan Dao, including the head of Qi Hui, seriously injured one person, and came to help the former No. 1 master of Middle Earth, Sanzhen Ning Daoqi was abolished by him, such frightening martial arts were enough to make Lou Guan Dao feel terrified!

The last time Ye Ke dealt with the religious factions, it was against their sworn enemy Buddhism, but they saw that the Jingnian Zen Temple was destroyed and the Heshi Bi was snatched away, and the Buddhism Gate was immediately frightened and broke his backbone, and desperately knelt down and licked him.

Daomen provoked him, the sect master was gone, if it weren't for the foundation of Louguan Dao in Zhongnan Mountain, I was afraid that Ye Ke would also lead the army to destroy it.

Seeing that Ye Xia's power is like the sky, but Li Tang is like yesterday's yellow flower, everyone who has a little vision knows that they must surrender to Ye Xia in order to protect the future of Lou Guan Dao.

Otherwise, even if Ye Ke does not destroy the Dao, he can support the Maoshan Dao, the Heavenly Master Dao, etc., and make the Louguan Dao perish silently.

So Lou Guandao quickly convened a meeting and decided to send the most prestigious Guozhen to surrender to Ye Xia.

"King Xia spares his life, Lou Guan Dao doesn't know the number of days, dare to sneak attack the real dragon, it's really damned, beg King Xia to spare his life, in the future, Lou Guan Dao is willing to drive for King Xia, don't dare to make a mistake!"

Guozhen was completely shocked by Ye Ke's thunder combat power, and at this moment, in the Xia Palace, he felt the powerful deterrent power of Ye Ke, the Xia King, all the time, how could he still have the slightest power to resist, only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.

In the admiring gaze of everyone in the hall, Ye Ke took a step forward and said:

"You are the current deacon of Lou Guan Dao, Guozhen?"

"Yes, King Xia, the poor road is the treasure of the country!" Guozhen said obediently.

Ye Ke slowly stood up and said lightly:

"I'll kill your head Qihui, do you want to wear a pipe service?"

"Serve, serve, serve, of course." Guozhen kowtows like pounded garlic.

Ye Ke controlled the thunder and shouted angrily:

"You sent four of the ten friends of Nakata Valley to besiege me, I killed three of them, abolished one person, and now you are kneeling and begging for mercy, do you accept it?"

"Poor Dao heart is convinced orally, heart is convinced orally." Guozhen's head was bleeding, and he was desolate and wailing.

"Since you are convinced, then spare your and Lou Guandao's lives for the time being."

"Get out! Lou Guandao must leave Guanzhong quickly and come to Luoyang to serve! Ye Ke walked down the steps and looked down at the kneeling Guozhen, just like looking at an ant.

"Yes! Be! Be! ”

Guozhen didn't even dare to raise his head, and after kowtowing again, he got up from the ground tremblingly, and crawled out of the Xia Palace.

Whether he was really afraid or the situation he could create, in short, Daomen's attitude had been lowered to the ground, so Ye Ke pushed the boat down the river, asking Daomen to leave Li Tang on time and return to Great Xia, so that he could not blame the past.

Most of the ministers in the palace are from civilian backgrounds, and when they saw this group of Taoist priests before, they were all dressed in unfathomable clothes, speaking mysterious and mysterious words, and they were very arrogant! How do you know that feng shui takes turns, in just a few years, the top Taoist priests in the world have to wag their tails at Ye Ke and beg for mercy, crying and begging for mercy, and they are full of emotion for a while.

At the beginning, everyone followed Ye Ke, just because Emperor Sui was cruel and the family was cruel, everyone had to follow him in order to survive, and they just hoped that in this troubled world, they could live one day at a time.

Where did you think that in just a few years, everyone followed Ye Keping Hebei, attacked Youyan, Keluo, chased the Turks, broke the east of the river, and destroyed Wagang. Li Tang, who occupies Guanzhong, is already surviving, and Ling Ran of Great Xia is already the number one force in the world, and everyone has also achieved a career that they didn't expect ten years ago.

Now, everyone has seen him with their own eyes to shock the world, claim the king and dominate, and the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism that have made the rulers helpless in the past dynasties have desperately come over to kneel and lick Ye Ke, arrogantly on the spot, condemning life and death, but none of the people present dared to say half a word against it.

And their current net worth and great power are also following Ye Ke.

"King Xia should have the world!"

Wei Zheng's face was as usual, but he was shocked in his heart.

He had traveled all over the world before he came out, met the former Sui Emperor, met the Guanlong nobles, and talked with Li Mi and Wang Shichong, but only in Ye Ke did he see the kind of courage that looks down on the world and is proud of everything, I am afraid that only people who really have great power will have.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng decided to continue to speak: "King, although the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism have surrendered, they must also see their hidden dangers. ”

Ye Ke nodded and said: "What Wei Shangshu said is extremely true, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism cannot be underestimated, even after the unification of the world, it must be strictly restricted, I think that the temple must pay heavy taxes, and to be a monk must be assessed and elected, and there must be a limit on the number of people!" In short, when the time comes, the law must be implemented and the division must be strictly managed! ”

He paused, looked around, and asked, "Let's put aside the matter of Buddhism and Taoism for a while, let's talk about the next strategy?" ”

Wei Zheng was affirmed by the king of Xia, so he naturally had to make persistent efforts, and said: "King, book the world, first determine the north, now my Great Xia occupies the eastern part of the country, and only Li Tang occupies Guanzhong in the north. When the north is unified, it can sweep the south and unify the world! ”

Ling Jing stepped forward and said: "What Wei Shangshu said is extremely true, the first target should be Li Tang, Weichen thinks that the king should personally lead a large army to attack Tongguan, and the general Dou Jiande crosses the Yellow River from the east of the river, and the two phases will be defeated. ”

The others stepped forward separately, saying the same thing, they all broke Li Tang first, and then swept the world.

Seeing that everyone had similar opinions, Ye Ke nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will personally lead an army of 300,000 to attack Tongguan in the west, and send a decree to Dou Jiande, ordering him to lead an army of 100,000 to cross the Yellow River west." ”

He paused and sneered: "It is said that the Guanlong nobles control the entire north, and the persecuted Song lords cannot go further north, the north is not so much the Han people, but the hands of the Sinicized Xianbei people, this battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty is to kill all the Xianbei nobles!" ”

"Let the land of China reproduce the power of my great Han!" 4

He is high on the throne, although his tone is flat, but in the eyes of everyone, he is extremely majestic, a kingly style.

Everyone couldn't help but feel excited, and they had already stepped forward and bowed down: "We are willing to follow the king, overcome thorns and thorns, and dominate the world!" ”

The war machine was launched quickly, after half a month of preparation, Ye Ke swore to go out in the Luoyang military camp, for a time, people are like dragons, horses are like tigers, 300,000 troops are mighty, the front is not seen, the tail is not seen, the sky is covered by the sun, and the Tongguan is marched.

Tongguan is named because it is close to Tongshui, and the south is based on the Qinling Mountains, and there is the danger of forbidden ditches and deep valleys; There are Wei and Luo in the north, and the Yellow River hugs the pass; There is a barrier of Huashan Mountain in the west; The mountain peaks in the east are connected, the valley is deep and the cliff is absolute, the sheep intestine trail is passed in the middle, only one car and one ride, people walk in the meantime, overlook the Yellow River, the danger is extremely precipitous.

The so-called "mountain strength and three auxiliaries, closing the door and choking Kyushu" is the importance of Tongguan.

Li Shimin was stationed in Tongguan, threatening the east, forcing Ye Ke to rebuild Hangu Pass, and arranging for Xu Shiji to lead elite troops to garrison, and then the Daomen used it as bait to encircle Ye Ke.

But now that the Daomen has succumbed, Tongguan is no matter how dangerous it is, and it is like a pattern in the palm of Ye Ke's hands.

Although no matter how majestic the pass is, in front of a supreme grandmaster like Ye Ke, it is a joke. But now that he is the king of Xia, if he has to do everything himself, what is the use of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

Li Shimin knew that the combat effectiveness of the Xia army was too strong, so he did not come down to attack and disturb himself, Tiance Mansion was full of talents, and everyone's opinion was to stick to Tongguan and make this Xiongguan the flesh and blood grinding plate of the Xia army.

If enough Xia Jun is killed, Ye Ke may take it personally, but so what? Li Valve is a hundred-year-old nobleman, how can he surrender to the mud legs?

After Ye Ke saw the terrain, he didn't plan to let the Xia army attack hard, so he asked the improved trebuchet to be transported up.

Today's trebuchets use more reasonable machinery and have a longer range, and the stones used are mixed with clay pots that explode when broken, iron balls that burn red, and so on.

At the sound of an order, hundreds of trebuchets began to start, and countless stones, clay pots, and red-hot iron balls were thrown into Tongguan.

It only took half a day's work to burn Tongguan into a fire.

Li Shimin had to lead his henchmen to escape from Tongguan and return to Chang'an.

Tongguan fights down!

When Ye Ke stepped into Tongguan on his horse, looking at the eyes full of desolation in the pass, and listening to the admiration and admiration of the soldiers in his ears, Ye Ke looked up to the sky and laughed: "I have science and technology, and I have miraculous skills, who in the world can stop me?" ”
