But a few days have passed, and there is still no news from Zhou Tianci's side.

What Chen Yu didn't know was that when his will came out of Tokyo, Zhou Tianci was still thousands of miles away, leading the army under his command and standing in front of the capital of Tubo.

After the defeat of more than 90,000 Tibetan troops led by Gurry, the army led by Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda barely encountered any fierce resistance.

The army came westward, and Zhou Tianci's approach was just the opposite of Yelu Changge, who had entered the Song Kingdom. Along the way, the Song army has always maintained strict military discipline, not looting, not slaughtering cities, and not committing any crimes against the people.

Not only that, but everywhere he went, Zhou Tianci had to let people publicize, saying that the Song army was a benevolent and righteous army, and that he had entered Tubo only to fight the Tubo court, and would never harm the people. In the future, once the Song State takes over Tibet, it will bring a better life to the Tibetan people and make Tibet as rich as the Song State.

Zhou Tianci didn't say these words to buy people's hearts, what he said was true. If Tibet becomes a vassal state of the Song State, then it will be able to take the modern express train launched by the Fifth Army in the future, and it will definitely become richer and better than it is now.

Zhou Tianci's army was approaching the city, and the Tubo Emperor, who had almost no soldiers and no generals, no longer had the courage to resist.

He led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the capital, came to Zhou Tianci, and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Song army, so that Tubo would become a vassal state of the Song State from now on. He agreed to all the conditions mentioned by Zhou Tianci before.

Seeing that the Emperor of Tubo finally understood the current affairs, Zhou Tianci nodded calmly, and then led the army into the city under the greeting of the Tubo civil and military officials.

After entering the city, the army of Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda was temporarily stationed in the city and controlled the entire capital

The next day, news came out from the Tubo Imperial Palace that the Tubo Emperor suddenly fell ill and was bedridden due to his advanced age and the recent state work and overwork.

At the same time, he passed down the decree and passed the throne to his ninth brother, Songtsen Derui.

This Songtsan Derui, after Zhou Tianci led the army into Tibet, he has always strongly advocated peace negotiations, and later, he advocated surrender and let Tibet

Became a vassal state of the Song State. This person is an extremely unambitious person who likes to be in a corner of peace.

This is also the reason why Zhou Tianci chose him.

Supporting the new emperor, Zhou Tian ordered people to write down all the terms of the agreement on the making of Tibet a vassal state of the Song State in black and white, and asked Songzan Derui to stamp the jade seal in front of hundreds of officials.

The old emperor suddenly fell ill, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and the civil and military officials of Tibet naturally knew what this meant. As a result, the court in Tibet couldn't help but panic for a while, and the officials were afraid that they would become the object of liquidation by the new dynasty.

Based on this fear and worry, the civil and military officials of Tibet began to curry favor with the Song army and the new emperor, and constantly expressed their loyalty, expressing their willingness to be loyal to the new emperor and the Great Song Dynasty forever.

Zhou Tianci was very satisfied with the panic of the Tibetan officials, and took advantage of the situation to add to the fire. He deliberately let people release the news, saying that it would not be long before the Song army would liquidate those officials who had fought in the capital and were disloyal to the Great Song Dynasty and the new emperor, and even circulated some liquidation lists.

This news made the civil and military officials of Tibet instantly shrouded in fear and the shadow of death, and they could not live in fear.

Three days later, the old Tibetan emperor died due to a serious illness. When the news came out, the panic of the civil and military officials in Tibet reached its peak.

It was also on this day that Zhou Tianci, who had not expressed his position, finally spoke. On the top of the main hall, Zhou Tianci's cold and calm gaze swept over the panicked ministers, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard rumors that we will liquidate and slaughter those officials who have their hearts towards the old dynasty and have not surrendered to the main battle. I am not satisfied with your lordship, but there are indeed many people who have suggested that I do this. Not only did they advise me to do this, but they also suggested that I should cut down all these officials!

However, what I want to tell you today is that I have decided that all civil and military officials in Tibet will remain in their original posts, and I don't want your black yarn or your life.

I don't care what your attitude was towards the Song-Tu War in the past, what strategies you offered to the previous emperor, I am not to blame for everything.

I believe that everyone will be loyal to the new emperor and the Great Song Dynasty. What I can tell you is that as long as you are loyal to the new emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, you will not only be able to maintain your current glory and wealth, but you will also be able to receive countless rewards and promotions in the future.

But if anyone dares to oppose your suzerainty from now on, it will be the fate of Gurry's head hanging outside the city gates! ”

Hearing Zhou Tianci say this, the civil and military officials, who had been terrified for many days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and were grateful to Zhou Tianci for his leniency. They all said that in the future, they will do their best to be loyal to the new emperor and the Great Song Dynasty, so that Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty will work together and there will be no differences.

At this point, Zhou Tianci can be regarded as the great enemy who has plagued the Song State for many years, and this country with a rather vast territory has completely turned into a vassal state of the Song State.

Of course, in Zhou Tianci's heart, in fact, this is only the first step, and when the time is ripe in the future, Tubo will be completely included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!

On the fifth day after Zhou Tianci led his army into the capital of Tubo, he finally received an urgent order from Tokyo in the Song Kingdom.

The message from Tokyo was delivered in a special way due to the urgency of time. First, it was sent to Xilin at a very fast speed through the Flying Crow Transmission, and then sent a fast horse by Xilin to the territory of Tubo to Zhou Tianci.

Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda led the army into the capital of Tubo, supported the new emperor, and completely turned Tubo into a vassal state of the Song State.

At this time, the news of the collapse of the battlefield on the middle line of the Northern Theater of the Song Kingdom and the direct approach of the army of the Kingdom of Cuisine to Tokyo had not yet reached Tibet. Zhou Tianci and the monarchs and ministers of Tubo did not know about this matter yet.

On the fifth day after Zhou Tianci led his army into the capital of Tubo, the edict that came from Tokyo in the Song Kingdom was finally in his hands.

In the past few days, Zhou Tianci's mood was originally very good, but after reading the content of this edict, his face quickly became solemn.

The edict said that Taiyuan City was broken by the food army, and Yelu Changge led an army of 200,000 troops to drive straight into the hinterland of the Song Kingdom, approaching Tokyo, and Tokyo was in danger! The Song Kingdom is in danger! Chen Yu asked Zhou Tianci to withdraw his troops from Tibet and lead the army back to Tokyo to help.

After reading the edict, Zhou Tianci looked up in the direction of the Song Kingdom in the east, and his eyes were filled with deep worry.

Zhao Ruoxue, Qing'er, and all their families are still in Tokyo, and if Tokyo is broken by the food army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Two days after Zhou Tianci received Chen Yu's edict, Yelu Changge, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Cuisine Kingdom, led 100,000 elite soldiers to the city of Tokyo.

Except for these 100,000 elites, the rest of the food army was all stationed in the cities along the way by Yelu Changge.

Hearing that the army that had killed the city of Tokyo was not 200,000, but 100,000, the civil and military ministers of the Song State couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because in the eyes of everyone, with the Imperial City Great Array and the National Division, 100,000 food troops will definitely not be able to break through Tokyo City.

But what the civil and military officers of the Song Kingdom could never have imagined was that when they breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Mingtian, the national teacher standing on the Tongtian Pavilion, looked at the food army outside the city for a while, but his face changed, and his originally calm and calm expression instantly became extremely dignified!

Emperor Chen Yu, the Song Emperor who was standing on the Tongtian Pavilion with Zhang Mingtian, saw that Zhang Mingtian's expression was wrong, his brows couldn't help frowning, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger. He looked at the black-pressed food army formation a few miles outside the north gate of Tokyo, and said suspiciously: "Why did the national teacher's expression change suddenly, isn't it the food army formation outside the city, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Mingtian's eyes converged, staring at the array of food troops outside the city, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Your Majesty, there are not only 100,000 food troops outside this city, but also three great cultivators of the Sage Realm!" ”

“…… What! ”

Chen Yu's face changed when he heard this, his eyes were full of shock, and he said in disbelief: "...... Three Great Saint Realm cultivators? …… How is this possible, if there are saint masters in the army, then why haven't we received any news before this? ”

Zhang Mingtian sighed: "Yes, before today, we really haven't gotten any news about them. There are only two possibilities, one is that they are hiding too well in the army, and the other is that they have just come to the army not long ago! ”

Hearing Zhang Mingtian say this, Chen Yu stared at the military array outside the city with anger on his face, and was silent for a long time, before he spoke again: "National Teacher, the three great cultivators of the Saint Realm in the Imperial Army, which three saints in Jinzhou are they?" …… Are we sure we can deal with it? ”

Zhang Mingtian said with a solemn expression: "If I'm not mistaken, the three saints in the food army are Zhuang Mo, the second junior brother of Tianchenzi, the national teacher of the Shang State, Yu Lingzi, the fourth junior brother, and Wang Hongzhen, the high priest of the food country!"

As for the certainty, Your Majesty, in this world, no one can dare to say that he has the certainty of defeating Wang Hongzhen when facing him! ”

Hearing Zhang Mingtian's answer, Chen Yu's face became completely heavy.

He finally knew why he always had a bad premonition in the past few days, and he always felt uneasy. It turned out that it was not only the army of the food country that killed the city of Tokyo, but also the three great saint masters.

Especially one of them, the high priest of the cuisine country, Wang Hongsleeve. This person's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of saints, and his strength is superb, and he is often compared with the stars of Taibai Mountain and Tianchenzi, the national teacher of Shangguo, and even many people think that the three of them are the three top masters in Jinzhou who can really be equally famous!

With Wang Hongsleeve in person, can Zhang Mingtian and the Imperial City Array still protect Tokyo? Chen Yu had a big question mark in his heart, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it.

"Your Majesty, next, I want you to go to the center of the Imperial City Great Array in the palace and activate the Great Array. At the moment, we have no choice but to fight against the odds. ”

Zhang Mingtian withdrew his gaze from looking outside the city, threw himself at Chen Yu next to him, and bowed slightly.

Chen Yu nodded, and also withdrew his gaze to look outside the city, looked at Zhang Mingtian, and said with a moving face: "National Teacher, the survival of Tokyo, the survival of the Song Kingdom...... I'll leave it to you. I will activate the Great Array to protect the capital and help you at the same time! ”

Zhang Mingtian, an old minister of the Three Dynasties with white hair, bowed slightly to Chen Yu and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister, you will do your best and die." ”

Chen Yu and Zhang Mingtian are also gentlemen and ministers, and they are also masters and apprentices. Chen Yu looked at Zhang Mingtian's old face covered with years of wind and frost, thinking about his protection and loyalty to the Song Kingdom over the years, his eyes couldn't help but redden, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Chen Yu left, Zhang Mingtian turned his head and looked outside the city again, and his solemn expression gradually became solemn and cold.

Then, his body moved, disappeared from the Tsutenkaku, turned into a streamer, and went straight to the North Gate Tower of Tokyo City.

At the same time, Chen Yu traveled at his fastest speed and soon came to the center of the Imperial City Great Array in the palace.

The center of the Imperial City Great Array is located underground in the center of the Imperial Palace, where a large secret room is built. In the center of the chamber, there is a large stone platform, and on the stone platform, there is a simple model of Tokyo Castle.

Chen Yu stepped into the secret room where the array was located, and there was only one person with him, Huang Fu'an, the head of the Heavenly Machine Department. brought this person, not only because he cultivated well, Chen Yu also trusted him, but also because he was one of the few people in the capital who knew something about the Imperial City Great Array.
